The Benguela Cove Collage 2022 is a harmonious red blend of 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29%  Petit Verdot, 15% Merlot, 12% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Franc. The grapes were hand-picked from estate vineyards situated on southeast and southwest facing slopes, with predominantly weathered shale and iron laterites, high calcium content soils. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity. Post-harvest, varietals and vineyard blocks were vinified and matured separately to ensure that each component reached its optimal potential. Maturation took 22 months with 45% new French oak barrels used. Residual Sugar: 2.5g/l. Bottled at 14.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, pencil shavings and tobacco leaf intertwine, offering a complex and inviting bouquet.

Palate: On entry notes of dark fruits such as blackberry, cassis, plums and bramble, complemented by notes of tobacco, dried herbs, and hints of cloves and cinnamon.

Finish: Well-knitted and elegant tannins are trailed with vivacious fruit. The balanced acidity enhances the overall elegance. A long finish with lingering notes of cedar oak, plums and cloves.
