PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

A quartet of old vine Portuguese varietals – Tinta Barocca, Touriga Nacional, Souzão & Touriga Francesca – combine in this inky black wine bursting forth with a bouquet of crushed black berry, bramble, tart cranberry, kirsch, purple plums with bright All-spice top notes intermingled by fynbos, apricot, savoury undercurrents, liquorice and wine spirit. The bouquet slowly unfurls onto the bold juvenile palate with more liquorice, peach, intense black hedgerow fruits, cocoa nib and hints of scrub onto the lengthy dry finish.  Time will temper the fiery fruity exuberance of youth, slowly unfurling the complexities of this fine Cape fortified in the decades ahead.
