Description & Winemaker's Notes

Look for bouquets of caramel, black fruit jam, baking spices and vanilla bean. Made by Guardian Peak in Coastal Region, South Africa. The ingredients generate a full-bodied and dry feel. Impressions of blackberry preserves, cinnamon and black fruit. Such foods such as risotto, lamb chops or grilled beef pair well with this wine.

According to Guardian Peak: In summer, the vineyards' close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean result in cool sea breezes that keeps temperatures lower, extending the ripening period.
