WO Western Cape. Destemmed grapes fermented on skins in a combination of open and closed tanks. Selected vineyards punched down by hand, with natural fermentation encouraged. Aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and barrels. Initially shy nose opens up, slight dustiness blows off, to reveal violets and spice, a hint of clove. Lovely red fruit on palate, raspberry and plum, soft and juicy, with youthfully crunchy tannins. Tangy, spicy and smoky, easily accessible and well made.
