The Vibe

This is a serious, deeply coloured red wine that completely over-delivers. It is grown on a literal ridge of white quartz, which gives the wine this amazing purity and focus. It’s packed with deep, dark plum and mint, but it drinks incredibly smoothly. You don't need to lock this away in a cellar for a decade to enjoy it—it is ready to be opened right now alongside a great piece of meat.

The Details (For the geeks)

• Winemaker: Pieter Rossouw

• Origin: Bonnievale (Quartz Soils)

• ABV: ~14.0%

• The Process: Grown on a highly specific bedrock ridge of white quartz. Minimal handling in the cellar ensures a perfumed, floral expression of Cabernet with fine-grained, balanced tannins.

The Perfect Pairing

A thick-cut ribeye steak off the braai, slow-braised short ribs, or mature, hard cheeses.
