There are very few wards in South Africa that can ripen Cabernet Franc properly like we do in the Banghoek Valley. Overripe and it becomes jammy – under ripe and it becomes weedy. On Zorgvliet we use a Single Vineyard to create this delicate and harmonious wine. The wine shows cinnamon and spice characteristics on the nose, which are well integrated with flavours of black cherry and plum fruit on the palate.
We use grapes from two vineyards to create this delicate and harmonious wine. The nose explodes with scents of tobacco leaf, ferns, raspberries, blackcurrant leaves and spearmint. On the palate the tannins are
firm and dry and the fruit weight elegant and delicate. The wine has good length and richness right through to the finish. A dryish but lengthy finish.
