Tasting Notes

A magnificent vintage. Inviting bright ruby glow. Up front, the wine shows a complex mix of smoke, dark fruits and spice on the nose. The wine is bright and focused on the palate with a lovely acid to tannin balance and a sustained finish.

 

Winemakers’ Notes

Matured in old French oak for 21 months. A dash of two other Rhône grapes adding fragrance.

Bartho Eksteen has led a distinguished career with a track record of bringing several prominent producers to the forefront of the South African wine scene. In 2014 Bartho and his wife Suné acquired the current premises which they have transformed into a model boutique winery and restaurant.

Bartho was South Africa’s Winemaker of the Year in 2010.

 

Food Suggestions: The wine is an ideal partner to roasts, cheese based dishes, rich stews and pasta dishes.
