Description
When the farm was founded, the Franschhoek valley was far wilder than it is today – as the wolf trap we once discovered goes to show. Today, the mountains are still alive with indigenous animals, including the majestic leopard. No evidence of wolves has ever been found though, so we created this wine to remind us of the mysteries and legends of days gone by. The Wolftrap is a rich, deep red blend that includes Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Viognier. Blend: Syrah 67%; Mourvèdre 31%; Viognier 2% Winemakers Comments: Grapes for this increasingly popular blend are sourced from selected vineyards in the Swartland. Small berries from dry land vines provide intense spicy flavours with integrated, balanced tannins. A slight hint of perfume from the Viognier adds to the harmony. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak prior to blending and bottling. Tasting Notes: Rich opulent flavours of dark fruit, violets, black pepper and liquorice. Round and smooth palate with a lingering soft finish. Hints of oak, soft tannins and voluptuous flavours makes for early, easy drinking.
