Country: South Africa / Cape Winemakers Guild Gravitas
Variety: Red Blend Stellenbosch
Winery: DeMorgenzon /
Winemaker: Carl van der Merwe. A blend of 78% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 2% Mourvèdre and 2% Durif, this opens with a pronounced purple-floral character that rides atop a core of black raspberry, boysenberry and cherry fruit. Hints of toasted spice and tree bark add depth and interest, while smooth but present tannins lend structure to the medium-weight mouthfeel. A pleasant hit of smoky campfire lingers on the finish.
