Tempranillo is a little known variety to South African vineyards but one that is fast enjoying an enhanced reputation in the Paarl region. Savoury in character, this wine was matured in new American oak(Toneleria Nacional Odyse-300 li barrels) 40 % first fill and 50 % older French oak (300li) barrels for 22 months, with the nose giving a cigar box aroma leading to marinated cherry and autumn blackberry on the palate. It is expected this wine will continue to develop for several years to come.
