Lovely black fruit flavors upon entry with delicate cedar oak aromas from Barrel maturation. A wine with excellent balance, a lovely core, and a long juicy aftertaste. This wine will pair well with Cape Malay curries, Duck breast, and dark chocolate soufflé. Ready to enjoy upon release and will develop for well up to 10 years.
They had ideal winter conditions that supplemented water reserves and contributed to even growth, which provided an excellent foundation for the 2022 crop. Following a cool run-up to the season, sudden heat peaks in December and January resulted in sunburn damage on certain vineyard blocks. At the same time, we experienced unexpected rainfall, which led to high disease pressure that caused challenges in minimising the effects of powdery and downy mildew. As temperatures remained moderate throughout the rest of the season, the grapes took their time to reach optimum ripeness, and the start of harvest was delayed by 10-14 days. The 2022 crop was larger than 2021 due to ideal winter conditions. Judging by the quality of the wines that are currently in the cellar, we anticipate another classic Stellenbosch vintage.
