Product Features
- Awards: Double Gold & Top 100 National Wine Challenge, Gold Catavinum World Wine & Spirits Competition, Gold International Wine Awards.
- A red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Shiraz, Durif, Grenache, and Petit Verdot.
- Each varietal follows its own path through the cellar, enjoying pumping-over and open-tank fermentation in some cases, while other varieties enjoy partial tank fermentation, completing fermentation in barrel.
- The wine is matured for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, of which approximately a third are new.
- Thereafter, wines from individual barrels are carefully selected to make up the final blend.
- Intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries and plums, with beautifully integrated vanilla, spice and cashew nut characters.
- Well balanced with a firm and well-integrated tannin structure, this full-bodied wine has a lingering, fruit-driven finish and will mature for five to eight years.

If you bred a seagull and an eagle would it be a seagle or an eagull?
There should be a brand of chocolate milk called "The Dark Side of the Moo".
