On the palate

Colour: Deep ruby. Nose: Intense flavours of black cherry, savoury nuttiness, beef dripping, dark chocolate, alluring aromas of ripe strawberry, nuances of blueberry backed with a subtle hint of forest floor and the faintist whiff of white truffle! Palate: Full bodied, intense, refined, supple tannins, long finish. Broad flavour profile with mocha, anise and nutmeg playing off each other. Highly complex, multilayered wine with very fine tannins and a wonderful acidity.

The fifth vintage of this unique co-fermented wine is only possible due to the rare occurance of merlot and syrah ripening at the same time on the Holden Manz farm in Franschhoek. The individual varietals were hand-picked on 11 April 2021 by our Cellarmaster and then hand-sorted allowing only the most optimally ripe berries to be used for this wine. Four brand new 225 litre French oak barrels with medium toast were filled with a mix of merlot and syrah berries. The barrels were rolled regularly until spontaneous fermentation occurred. Cuvaison took place over approximately 50 days.
