|---|---|
| Winemakers Approach | The KC range is made with the modern consumer in mind. Through the use of innovative production techniques and sourcing of high quality grapes from throughout the Cape Winelands we aim to make an approachable yet high quality wine which is ready to drink on purchase, yet will benefit from an additional few years of bottle maturation. |
| The Winemaking | Fermentation and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and French oak barriques. Selected components were matured using micro-oxygenation techniques, whilst the remainders were barrel matured for a period of 24 months. Bottling took place in June 2010. |

| Tasting Notes | |
|---|---|
| Colour | Appearance of classic claret with its ruby core with garnet rim. |
| Bouquet | The nose combines wonderful briary elements with overtones of cedar wood and cigar box. |
| Palate | The elegant palate is tautly structured yet displays mid-palate fruit sweetness and generous palate weight, finishing on a more-ish, savoury note. |
