Description
In a nutshell:
A wonderful South African Bordeaux red Blend and Buitenverwachting's flagship.
The lowdown:
Named after winemaker Lars Maack's mother their premier red is a blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the major red varieties of Bordeaux which have been successfully grown in the region for centuries. It's big and rich and aged for two years in new French oak barrels. The dark fruit flavours of ripe cherry and cassis dominate with dark chocolate, tobacco and cedar undertones supporting these well. Full-bodied with grippy, nicely integrated tannins it signs off with a long rich finish.
When to drink:
Deep and velvety it's good with roast and grilled red meats and rich game dishes.
