South Africa?s most famous wine-producing district, Stellenbosch, surrounds the historic town with the same name; fine winemaking here dates back to the late 1600s. Its valleys of granite, sandstone and alluvial loam soils between the towering blue-grey mountains of Stellenbosch, Simonsberg and Helderberg have the capacity to produce beautiful wines from many varieties. The climate is warm Mediterranean, tempered by the cool Atlantic air of nearby False Bay.
This Cabernet Franc-led blend, with 36% Malbec, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, opens with seductive notes of dried cherry, cocoa-dusted raspberry, vanilla bean and sweet oak. There's ample tannic structure, though they are quite fleeting, allowing the vibrant acidity and bright red-fruit flavors to shine through. Drink now?2021.
