Flatrock Red 2019

R510,00

The wine bursts with fresh red fruit initially with flavours of bright red plum and raspberry but develops on to the mid-palate to a much more broody mouth-filling black plum with strawberry jam highlights.

Case (x6 bottles)

A showcase of the two most prominent red varieties growing on the estate. The fruit is very juicy and lush, with strawberry and plum’s primarily red fruit profile. Both wines add a lot of specific characters to the blend. The Syrah adds a pleasant violet aromatic, and the Pinotage contributes with plush red fruit and soft tannin. There is a subtle top note of black peppercorn from the Durif that adds to the allure of the wine.
