Tasting notes |
This stunning wine is a deep red colour with a light garnet rim, showing the first signs of development. The nose shows chocolate mint and blackcurrant fruit with herbal overtones, and a delicious earthy, smoky character. The palate has an elegant structure with firm but fine tannins which support the fruit flavours of bloodplum jam and subtle mint, while the oak provides a savoury tone to add to the wine's complexity. The wine is firm yet soft and the finish displays exceptional length.

Kraft Sauvignon Blanc is pale straw in colour with a light green hue resulting from the addition of crisp cooler climate fruit. The wine has hints of grassy Sauvignon Blanc characters with prominent aromas consisting of typical tropical fruit salad, and fruity characters such as pineapple, pawpaw, kiwi and passionfruit. The crisp palate shows “grassy” flavours upfront, developing into tropical fruit on the finish. The acid is clean and refreshing, giving the wine good length. |
