It won a gold medal at this year’s Veritas
Awards and Lynne tasted this wine at the public tasting this week and was very
impressed. This wine is made from
Cabernet Franc planted on an old seabed in the Helderberg Basin
Winemaker
David Finlayson writes “The soils (Somerset West) reminded me very much of the
Graves region in Bordeaux, allowing me to spot the potential to make a great wine
from these vineyards that are threatened by Urban encroachment.” It has a classic Cabernet Franc leafy,
fragrant nose with dark smoky hints. Smooth as silk on the palate with rich dark
cherry fruit, some savoury notes, minerality and lots of class, with good
potential to age. Drink now with good food and it will delight. R 279 per bottle from Wine.co.za
