Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Franc 2015
Bold graphite, earthy aromas with a subtle blackcurrant leaf note over black and blueberry fruit. Faint touch of oak apparent. There is pure black berry fruit on the palate. Succulent, supple and beautifully smooth and refined, the oak is well knit, creating a polished platform upon which the fruit dances. Seductive, teasing hint of violet perfume too. Lovely texture and restraint which create an overall impression of elegance. Long, rewarding finish. Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Franc is made from specially selected parcels of Cabernet Franc from selected sites and soil types to express the true character of this varietal. Grapes are picked by hand, placed into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar in a cool truck. In the cellar, the whole berries are manually double-sorted and then gravity-fed into fermenters. Each batch is cold-soaked for a few days and then slowly brought up in temperature. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in the barrel. The wines were aged for 18- to 24 months in 225_x001F_ new French oak barrels, bottled unfiltered and bottle-aged for a year.
Langmeil Orphan Bank Shiraz 2021
A rich and juicy shiraz from Langmeil Winery that does not fall short from the expectation - it surpasses it. A rich bouquet of red and blue fruits meet you at the nose with herbs and ceder backing them up, entwined with hints of sage, chocolate and savoury notes. The palate is rich and juicy yet again with raspberry and Satsuma plum take over the mouth, with allspice sweetness adding to the mouth feel. The fruit is well balanced with hints of briary spice and textural, fine grained tannins that lead to a lengthy finish. Cellar potential is from now until 2033.
