A truly sublime red blend from Klein Constantia. Deep ruby red in appearance, the nose is upfront with aromas of dark red fruit and oak spice. The palate is bold and elegant, complex yet finely structured. The wine concludes with a persistent and savory finish.
An excellent wine to add depth to one's collection, and will age beautifully for up to 10 years. Pair with rich umami flavors like beef, lamb, venison and mushroom.

Anwilka had a cold and wet winter allowing for a favorable resting period for the vines. The growing season was long and cooler than expected, allowing for good maturation time on the vine.
The grapes were hand picked in small crates. Sorting occurred before and after destemming. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tronconic tanks. Lengthy pump-overs and extended maceration ensured a gentle extraction of ripe polyphenols. The wine spent total of 19 months in wood, 50% new French Oak 400 liter barrels, the remaining 50% in 2nd fill.
