Intense sundrenched dark berried fruit with a lovely fresh energy, blackberries, blueberries, cassis. dark cherries and peppermint. Very integrated oak profile with a gentle touch of vanilla and sweet tobacco followed by a underlying stony minerality.
Dry palate with a medium + acidity, high tannins with a fine grained qualititave texture, well integrated alcohol in a full body that is balanced by a fresh acidity. Nuanced palate with a good complexity and characters of ripe dark berried fruit, vanilla and sweet licorice that evolves through a solid lenght that falls a bit short from the major league.

Wolf & Woman Chenin Blanc
Youthful but open and very inviting aromas with ripe yellow apples, stone fruit, nectarines. A good portion of honey, blossom and bees wax that is followed by sweet spices and warm stones.
Dry with a high piercing acidity that is balanced by a framwork of round ripe fruit and honey blossom. Then acidity penetrates through a strong mid palate with plenty of stones in the background and holds through a solid (med + lenght finish). As so many of the wines that comes out from the South African wine revolution right now, it performs well above its modest penny. Serve it at 12 degrees in your Bourgogne glass.

Closed and timid at first, but soon displays a broad complexity, wonderful vinous aromas of red fall apples, raspberries and ripe peach, plenty of toast and crushed stones and a wee note of arrack and a almond nuttiness.
Dry palate, high and well balanced acidity gives the wine a proud posture, the fine beaded and round mousse is very persistent and interwoves the intense fruit profile and rings out in a long finish.
