Winery notes:
When the farm was founded, the Franschhoek valley was far wilder than it is today – as the wolf trap we once discovered goes to show. Today, the mountains are still alive with indigenous animals, including the majestic leopard. No evidence of wolves has ever been found though, so we created this wine to remind us of the mysteries and legends of days gone by.
The nose is intense, dark, and brooding with an abundance of black fruit
aromas and scents of violets, pepper and cured meat with gentle whiffs of
dried coriander and tar. The savoury, gamey aromas and dark berries of the
nose follow through onto the palate with flavours of liquorice, black olives,
and cardamom and hints of cranberry, red currant and cloves. The mid-palate
is full, rich and smooth with supple tannins and integrated acidity and shows
sweet tobacco and spicy undertones from subtle oaking. The wine lingers in
the mouth with a smoky, slightly charry, yet very juicy finish.
