Description
Red fruit forward with black and blueberry flavours in the background while the light oaking accentuates the fruit flavours. A velvety palate with well-integrated tannins which are supported by subtle smokiness leading into a lingering juicy finish. Pairs well with dishes such as Coq au vin or roast duck.
This historic Franschhoek estate was formed out of one of the original farms that was granted to the Huguenots when they settled here, and it was first planted with vines in 1797 when it passed to Paulina De Villiers. The estate nestles against the slopes of the Franschhoek Mountains, close to the Franschhoek River that the old rickety bridge used to cross.
