Award Winning
Vriesenhof Jan Boland Coetzee 2023
R175,00
Youthfully tinged, deep ruby in appearance. Crunchy fennel and oregano notes pair well with ripe Merlot fruit providing a complex blend of aromas. Subtle notes of wood spice provide an aromatic lift. Cabernet Franc lends earthy spice whilst Cabernet Sauvignon provides deep, robust tannins and a firm juicy palate. A bold blend that will mature for some time in bottle, yet approachable in its youth.
