Cape Winemakers Guild

Kaapzicht Cape Blend Auction Reserve 2005

The three cultivars were vinified and aged separately in small French oak barrels separately. They were blended together after 22 months in French oak. Tasting Notes Very dense dark ruby with a brooding, black centre; massively structured with powerful tannins and serious oak treatment harmoniously woven into a tapestry of richly fruited layers. Superbly crafted with plush dark fruit and tightly knit structure boding well for a long life. A long focused finish presently only hinting at the treasures to be revealed over the next 4 to 6 years and beyond.
