Taste

This wine has been named to Wine Spectator’s "Top 100" for four years in succession, and is affectionately named Estate. Well balanced and structured, Estate expresses the uniqueness of the Stellenbosch terroir. A savory palate of sweet spices, dark fruits and paprika. The long finish is well-structured.
