For 3 generations the Steytler Family has been running their 190 hectare large estate hands-on: Brothers Danie and George being the winemaker and viticulturist.
The palate starts out racy, with a red fruited bright core and soft tannins, developing further complexity of cherry, cola, green olives and smoke.

"Intensely coloured with an opaque centre and a slightly purple meniscus. Brooding and muscular with rich layers of succulent plum and mulberry fruit overlaid with dark chocolate and vanilla tones.
