tasting notes
The soft textured tannins, full-bodied mouthfeel and silken finish lends itself as a platform to
heady mix of red berry and black fruit flavours combined with floral notes and fynbos
nuances.

The Proprietors blend is once again impressive and serious in 2016.
Medium to full-bodied, it is strewn with black fruits, exotic spice and chards of dark chocolate. Sweet spicy oak melts into a dense, powerfully-fruited and structured core. The majority Cabernet Sauvignon gives a cassis purity and salty edge, while the Shiraz component adds a meaty, savoury and spicy edge.
The blend is rounded off by the remaining Bordeaux cultivars in a complexity explosion from start to finish. It is exquisitely textured and finely tuned, the 2016 will open up over the next 5 years and age for a decade or more.
