In volume 22 of 'Drops of God,' Miyabi brings this wine in the quest for the Seventh Apostle. It's described as having the elegance of an acapella sung solely by female voices, highlighting the wine's complexity and beauty. It's a special sip that truly captures the strength of the South African landscape.
Pouring this wine reveals a deep garnet hue that captivates the eye. Aromas of rich black cherry and cassis lead, followed by hints of spice and dried fruit. The bouquet alone offers a wealth of enjoyment.
On the palate, the wine bursts with lush fruit flavors. The acidity is lively, achieving a harmonious balance overall. The tannins are velvety, and the finish is long-lasting. Drinking this wine reveals the potential South African wines hold. You should definitely share a bottle with friends and experience its resonance for yourself.
