Tasting Notes

Honouring the great Cabernets made by George Spies in the '60s, this wine has impressive concentration and longevity.
Made to exude absolute purity of varietal character and as such display true Cabernet Sauvignon cassis and blackcurrent flavours. The wine has a fresh, minty herbaceousness backed by mocca vanilla oak.
