Wildekrans, Cape Blend, Barrel Select Reserve, 2013, Bot River, South Africa

Wildekrans vineyard in the Bot River, Westerncape, South Africa is a must visit place. Their wines are amazing across the range and this blend is no exception. Made with 48% Pinotage, 36% Shiraz, 8% each of Cab Sav and Pinot Noir a lot of thought has gone into this. Rich and silky on the platte its dry with flavours of plum, blackberry and licorice. Hints of chocolate and oak with a little leather and nod to the soil of the estate its truly a great wine and at £25 a bottle amazing value. One of the best wines I’ve ever tasted.
