The Twenty is comprised of 20 varietals, interplanted as bush vines without rhyme or reason. We wanted to explore the naturally occurring microclimates and profile of a wine that is a true South African field blend, as nature might have intended if she were a winemaker.

Tasting Notes: Garrigue, lavender flowers and stemmy spice unfold, petal-like, each scent demanding its moment. Salted red plum, blueberry, mulberry emerge along a thrill of white pepper. Blood orange freshness opens the palate, ushering in red-fruited exuberance of cherries, strawberries, berries; an undertow of earthy pomegranate trailing to a tangy, saline finish. Energetic and coiled this will continue to develop for years to come.

“From 20 varieties interplanted as bushvines. Matured for 12 months in a concrete egg and 500-litre barrels, 15% new. An expressive nose of red, black and blue berries, plums, spice, floral perfume and a touch of herbs. The palate is rich, full of ripe, luscious fruit, smooth in texture, with soft acidity and a hint of warmth on the finish. Bold and arresting in a way reminiscent of Portuguese wines, this asks a fair bit of the drinker. Alc; 14.5%.” –  CE’s rating: 91/100
