Vuurberg Red

Region

Stellenbosch, South Africa

Vintage:

2015

Grapes:

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot

Wine Description:

A magnificent blend of Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon with 22 months in oak. Dense, earthy, rustic cassis and spice. Old fashioned, proper South African red.

Tasting Note:

Huge and muscular and surprisingly elegant given its depth of dark brooding fruit. An intriguing nose of wild berries, blackberry compot, graphite and other crunchy stuff. These delights follow through onto a palate with layers of graphite, rosemary, rocks, lashings of black fruits and countless other things! The Petit Verdot complements the characteristics of the other varietals creating a wine that has lots of cassis and spicy, leather notes and a firm tannin structure with the potential to evolve beautifully over the next 10 years. After decanting the wine evolves beautifully showing notes of crushed-rock minerality amongst the restrained layered and complex fruit.

Food Suggestion:

Its got to be a proper braai! Good steak, bashed and barbecued with a sprinkling of rock salt and grilled veg.
