Malbec has adapted well to these conditions, producing wines with deep colour, concentrated fruit and firm structure while still maintaining freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1442\"\u003eThe Rising Star range reflects a modern Cape approach to winemaking - expressive fruit, balanced structure and minimal interference so that the vineyard character remains central to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1442\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1558\"\u003eDeep ruby with a dark purple core, showing good concentration in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1776\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1647\"\u003eAromas of blackberry, black plum and dark cherry lead the bouquet.
