The High Road Classique

The High Road Classique 2018

R275,00

Ripe and rich with juicy plum and cassis meld into a savoury, spicy mouthful of rounded fruit and gentle vanilla oak. The palate is smooth with supple tannins and a spicy plum finish. Harmonious and balanced. A true pleasure to drink.

More Information

In the cellar

The 4 grape varieties were matured separately in 225 litre French oak barriques for about a year. Blending has ensured the balance of fruit, structure and age ability.

In the vineyard

The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec grapes were sourced from carefully selected trellised vineyards in Stellenbosch. These low yielding vines contribute to an increased concentration of flavour in the wine.

Ageing

This wine can be enjoyed now, however, it will age well for further five years.

Cultivar

45 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 38 % Merlot, 12 % Cabernet Franc and 5 % Malbec

Food Pairing

This wine will pair well with all red meat dishes especially beef.

About the Wine Estate

For those whose sense of taste favours the elegance and complexity of classic Bordeaux-style reds, The High Road is the perfect destination. Established in 2003 as a boutique négociant producer, The High Road has cultivated a considerable reputation amongst Bordeaux aficionados. The brand has been built on four unwavering pillars of distinction: exclusive sourcing of quality grapes perfected by the Stellenbosch Terroir, a single-minded focus on Bordeaux Varietals, an insistence on using a considered selection of fine French Oak barrels, and their proprietary High Road Practices. Guided by their consultant winemakers for the past 15 vintages, they have succeeded in producing exceptional vintage-specific wines with the elegance, intrinsic depth and distinction of a classic Bordeaux red at their core. The epitome of Bordeaux, yet expressing a sense of place that is uniquely Stellenbosch.
