It won three gold medals last year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (Best in Class), the International Wine Challenge in London and Germany's Mundus Vini. It rates 4½ stars in Platter's South African Wines.
Recommended with beef entrecote, oven roasted quail or slow braised beef short ribs, it is available at fine dining restaurants, boutique wine shops and sells at the cellar door for R245 a bottle.
