The 2022 MR de Compostella is a blend of 23% Cabernet Franc, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot and 9% Merlot sourced from 10 to 25 years old vines grown on decomposed granite and clay/sandstone soils in Stellenbosch.

Tasting Notes: The 2022 MR de Compostella is a barrel selection from all five varieties, which are
assessed blind and undergo trial blends. Those chosen blends are then evaluated against the previous five vintages. This has a gorgeous bouquet, quite understated at first, opening with red fruit, briar and a touch of wild rosemary mixed with potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, tensile and brimming
with energy. A touch of black pepper and brown spices emerges as this fans out wonderfully toward the slightly wet stone mineral finish.

• James Suckling (96/100): Notes grip, sinew, chocolatey oak, and bramble, comparing it favorably to the 2021 vintage.
• Tim Atkin MW (95/100): Praises its gorgeous bouquet and energetic palate with fine tannins and mineral finish.
• Neal Martin (Vinous) (94/100): Describes it as a well-judged blend with assertive oak and black fruit, balanced by a firm tannic spine.
