About the area: South Africa's vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast. This is the southernmost region of the African continent, and has a Mediterranean type climate and diverse soils perfectly suited to quality grape production.

Maturation: 2 - 4 years in a combination of 300 litre and 500 litre French oak barrels.
Varietals: Tinta Barocca + Ruby Cabernet + Souzão + Pinotage.
Wine description: Beautiful dark berry flavours are complemented by caramel, butterscotch and nuttiness. The wine is well balanced, fresh and fruitful with a lingering finish.
