Gabriëlskloof “The Blend”, Walker Bay

This Bordeaux blend has aromas of pencil shavings, mulberry and black currant on the nose ahead of damson, lavender and refreshing eucalyptus leaf.  The palate is plush and generous, with more black currant, bright red currant and cedar wood, all wrapped in the subtle toastiness of French oak and grippy tannins. The finish is long and dry, with a liquorice-like savouriness.  Situated in the rolling hills of Botrivier, Gabriëlskloof are a producer of real pedigree.  The vineyards are farmed sustainably with the support of vineyard consultant Rosa Kruger (hailed as “the queen of the Cape’s old vines”) and have been ranked as a "First Growth" in Tim Atkins' 2024 South Africa Report. ABV 14.5%
