Product Description:
This wine displays beautiful aromas of ripe red fruits such as cranberries, plums and cherries on the nose, complemented by fascinating spicy notes. These aromas lead to a medium-bodied palate where smoky, spicy notes are complemented by red fruit aromas. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, balanced by a delightful freshness on the finish.

Vinification
The grapes for this wine are grown in the cool climate of the Constantia Valley, all on the Eagles' Nest wine farm, on steep mountain slopes at an altitude of 100 to 400 metres. All grapes were hand-picked, sorted, and then pressed into various small to medium-sized open-top fermenters. Pumping over occurred three to four times daily. After fermentation, the wine was transferred into a combination of 225-litre first, second, and third-fill French oak barrels, where it matured for 18 months. After barrel maturation, selected components were transferred into tanks and blended to create a multi-layered and complex wine.
