A vibrant and approachable expression of South Africa’s iconic red grape, sourced from established, trellised vineyards in Paarl’s deep sandy loams. Hand harvesting and gentle processing reflect Cape Wild’s focus on fresh, expressive fruit.
Tasting Notes:
Bright ruby in colour, the wine displays an inviting nose of ripe plum and cherry. On the palate, rich dark fruit flavours are complemented by a touch of toasty oak and subtle spice, giving layered richness and depth.
Winemaking:
Whole bunches are added to the must to bring a fresh, leafy note. Natural fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in 300‑ and 600‑litre barrels. A hint of Franschhoek Syrah adds a subtle layer of white spice to the final blend.
Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with seared tuna, venison, roasted vegetables or a classic South African bobotie — dishes that complement the wine’s vibrant fruit and balanced structure.
ABV: 13.5%
