This year's Blending Competition winner, a blend of 8%
Zinfandel, 15% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot & 40% Shiraz. With
incense and vanilla wood, it has berries and whiffs of geraniums from the
Zinfandel. On the palate there are soft, sweet, chewy, chalky tannins; it is
full of ripe fruit, with hints of violet from the Petit Verdot and a zing from
the Zinfandel
The wine is sold in 750 ml & Magnum bottles from selected
retail outlets, the farm’s Tasting Room and online via www.blaauwklippen.com
at R112 per bottle and R230 for the 1.5 litre bottle. Very good value for
parties and large dinners
