Tasting Notes
This is the flagship red wine at Quails' Gate, with grapes from premium blocks at the estate vineyard. Some of the vines date from the 1970s. The wine spent 17 days on the skins during fermentation and was then aged 17 months in French and neutral oak. The wine begins with aromas of cherry, raspberry, mocha and spice. The full, silky texture delivers flavours of cherry and plum, with a persistent finish. Score - 92. (johnschreiner.blogspot.com, Jan. 7, 2022)
