Description
This wine demonstrates what’s possible when ancient winemaking techniques meet senior winemaker Abraham de Klerk’s cutting edge craftsmanship.
Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black pepper, black cherry with hints of vanilla bean and dark savoury chocolate arise from this elegant beauty. The deliciously rich palate has integrated acidity creating length and structure combined with soft velvety tannins. Your senses will be overwhelmed with lingering blackcurrant, black pepper and dark chocolate savoury tones.
This wine has been aged in Amphora Terra Cotta, imported from Italy, and made from special porous clay that allows the wine to breathe correctly as it is ageing. This micro-oxygenation causes the wine to soften as it matures and develops, without any oak flavours influencing the wine. The result is a true expression of the fruit being achieved in the finished wine. The clay also has anti-microbial properties to help protect the wine as it ages.
The amphora itself is a spectacular work of art. This is a grand wine – prepare for powerful, complex, divine aromas, flavours and effortless sophistication.
