Tasting notes:        
A seductive crimson in the glass, the nose of this special desert wine, offers a voluptuous array of ripe plum and upfront black currents enhanced by indulgent chocolate flavours and subtle spice. Smoothly integrated, these fruitcake flavours follow through in a well-structured, velvety pallet with an aftertaste that lingers infinitely.
From the ancient soils of the Riebeek Valley, this special edition Cape Vintage reminds of old world opulence and charms with plush luxury.
