A bold and approachable red blend from South Africa's Swartland, crafted by Kloovenburg to showcase the region's ripe fruit, generous character and Mediterranean climate. Rich, smooth and full of personality, this expressive wine offers excellent balance between vibrant fruit, subtle spice and soft tannins, making it an ideal choice for everyday enjoyment.
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby red in colour, the nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and plum, complemented by hints of black pepper, liquorice, sweet spice and a touch of cedar. The palate is full-flavoured and well-rounded, offering layers of dark berry fruit supported by supple tannins and balanced acidity. Gentle notes of mocha and toasted oak add depth and complexity, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
Winemaking:
Produced from a carefully selected blend of red grape varieties grown in the Swartland, where warm days and cooling coastal influences encourage excellent ripening and concentration. Each variety is vinified separately before blending, with a period of oak maturation adding subtle complexity while preserving the wine's vibrant fruit character and balance.
Food Pairing:
A perfect match for grilled steaks, barbecued ribs and slow-cooked beef dishes. It also pairs beautifully with roast lamb, hearty casseroles, gourmet burgers, mature cheeses and smoky Mediterranean-style vegetables.
ABV: 14%
