Nose
After pulling the cork on our 2012 Claret, you will be surprised by expressive notes of plum, mocha and leather on the beautiful bouquet. A short while later intriguing notes of cedar, black currant, lavender and dried herbs will fill your glass.
Palate
There is an explosion of dark berry fruits in the mouth feel, in between layers of subtle oak and bright acidity. The mid-palate is round and velvety, with ripe fruit lingering on throughout the finish. Firm tannins bring structure and balance to this wine.
Winemaking
Stellar fruit and creative wine making techniques laid a solid foundation for this wine.
Aging
Aged gracefully in neutral French and American oak for 20 months. A selection of barrels from different lots was chosen and blended together in perfect harmony prior to bottling.
Food Pairing
Fire Pizza, Grilled lamb chops, Braai.
