Tasting Notes
"...with stunning, sleek fruit and a surprisingly plush outlook...Silky, layered, discreet, and charming, there is gentleness here, and it is irresistibly appealing." - 18/20 Matthew Jukes
More Info
Perhaps their most impressive work, given the Helderberg's rainfall in late harvest. It really hasn't stopped them delivering a delicious and high potential Cab. The conditions might be why I felt it had more of a nod to Claret then I expected, just in its delicate perfume and sensitivity. Just a nudge of mint on the nose. Nicely ripe in fruit, with pure black plum, blackcurrant and a little chocolate.
