Strydom Family Wines Paradigm 2016
The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot form the core of this wine and the grapes were specially selected within the vineyards and fermented separately. After maturing in French oak barrels for 12 months, the best barrels were blended together and then matured for another 6 months. Prior to bottling, a fresh portion of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc from the 2017 vintage were added to complete the full Bordeaux-style wine.
Tasting notes: This is a well-balanced wine with a soft entry and fresh inner core. The palate shows red and dark fruit flavours, graphite and refined tannins.
