In the farthest flung corners of the Cape lie gnarly, old, national treasures - ancient vines once farmed with Percheron draft horses, both now a rare breed. Percheron Shiraz Mourvèdre celbrates this marriage of nature.

A great partner to rich and savoury red meat dishes such as salt-marsh lamb, or a gutsy bean casserole.

Tasting Note: Co-fermented Shiraz and Viognier do their thing whilst waiting for the later Mourvèdre to create this threesome. The sandy nose suggests summer pudding, black cherries and crushed raspberries with notes of aromatic spice and a latent creaminess. Ripe, juicy on the palate which is at once vibrant and dark.
