Tasting note
The wine has a brilliant purple-black core and a deep ruby red edge. On the nose, classic graphite notes, black cherry and stone fruit open, interwoven with aromas of cassis and five spices. A clever freshness underlines these aromas with hints of ripe tomato peels and fynbos. On the palate, it is pleasantly full-bodied with aromas that are reflected in a complex, persistent finish.
Culinary recommendation
A fantastic accompaniment to roasted red meat and Parmigiana aubergines.
Vinification
This wine is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. The grapes come from Tokara's first-class vineyards on the slopes of Simonsberg near Stellenbosch. Only grapes from the best blocks and from the best parts of these blocks are used. The average yield is between 6 and 8 t/ha. After harvesting, the grapes were destemmed, sorted, crushed and placed in stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels. This was followed by cold maceration of up to 5 days before the mash was spontaneously fermented. During fermentation, the mash was pumped twice a day for better extraction. The subsequent malolactic fermentation took place in French wooden barrels. After the lactic acid mining was complete, the cabernet matured for a total of 22 months in 49% new French oak barrels and the other 51% in used wooden barrels. It was bottled without fining or filtration.
