STRATA SERIES | Rockwood
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2000

This is our range of experimental, once-off and seriously adventurous wines collected under the name Flagstone Strata. By their very nature these wines are crafted in miniscule amounts – often, only a few barrels will ever exist. Each wine is characterised by its unique history and character. All are finely crafted as outstanding examples of their specific geographical situation and climatic influences.When they make it to the cellar, they are pushed to the limits of their winemaking possibilities.We encourage natural fermentation and steer clear of adding acid or fining agents. Some have not made it this far as a result.

Tasting Notes:
This wine is a pure and natural expression of this special vineyard site. The nose is crammed full of ripe red fruit framed with soft spicy oak with hints of fennel, mint, cinnamon and chocolate. On the palate the wine is soft and accessible with juicy generous tannin and balanced acidity. The flavours are complex and intense with cassis, mocha and strawberry. A delicious, complex and rewarding wine.

Food Pairing: Duck confit in phyllo parcels in a reduced roasted redpepper and naartjie sauce.

Analysis: Alc 13.37% Ta 6.6 Ph 3.54



Dripping mulberry aromas
and flavours of mint chocolate body paint.
Reflections of fire.
