The Max 2021

R225.00

This bold blend delivers power and poise in equal measure. Deeply aromatic, the wine offers an intriguing bouquet of crushed geranium, violet, and dark berry fruit, lifted by a cool streak of spearmint.

Description

The unique mesoclimate at Stony Brook seems naturally suited to growing red Bordeaux varieities. There is plenty of sunshine to allow the grapes ample ripeness, while the cool night-time temperatures seal in the acidity and increase the potential for hangtime on the vine. With each vintage of The Max, the aim is to craft a wine that has huge ageing potential as well as rich, harmonious flavours that allow the wine to be enjoyed in its youth. The 2021 vintage is a two-way Cape Bordeaux-style blend, made up of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 40% Petit Verdot, matured in 50% new French oak barrels for 24 months before blending and bottling.
