By and large his wines are made according to a die-hard natural winemaking philosophy, but as he has grown in years, his aggressive attachment to natural ideals have given way to a desire to make wines that are pure and arresting before they are "natural", if that is even a thing. This Carignan electric in its expressiveness, and shows what the grape is capable of in the Swartland. 👃🏼The vanguard carries blood orange, cherry fruit, purple flowers and raspberry sherbet. 👄 On the palate, there are some surprisingly grippy tannins, which frame bright sour cherry elements, contrasted by sweeter candy notes and sort of clove-&cinnamon spiced citrus thing as well. The whole bunch fermentation delivers additional complexity in the form of some stalky tannins and hints of pepper. 🔬Wine of Origin Swartland. 100% Carignan. Organically farmed fruit. ====================== HanDrinksSolo is South Africa's most adventurous wine club.
