About this Item
De Morgenzon Vertical case (3 x 750ml)
Maestro Red 2015
Reserve Syrah 2015
Reserve Chenin Blanc 2015
An exciting lot from the stellar 2015 vintage showcasing 3 unique wines from one of Stellenbosch’s finest producers DeMorgenzon. The 2015 vintage is starting to enter its peak drink window so what better way to enjoy them from a magnum. The reserve Chenin is always spectacular and a particularly great 2015 is showing all its potential at the moment. The Reserve Syrah shows the typical subdued cool climate savoury notes in unbelievable intensity on the palate. The Maestro Red is somewhat of a hidden gem and enthusiasts of Bordeaux will not want to miss this one!!
Savage Wines Red 2020 (3 x 1500ml)
The Savage Red 2020 is a pure Syrah sourced exclusively from prime organically grown Stellenbosch vineyards. Despite all the dark youthful broody density, the wine displays a gloriously perfumed aromatic profile that rises out the glass effortlessly to reveal expressive notes of lavender, sweet lilies, ripe red plum, stewed mulberries and strawberry compote before singed sandalwood, dried rosemary and thyme herbal nuances. The palate is broad and elegantly textured with plenty of sweet, sumptuous upfront red and black berry fruits, a savoury steak tartar meaty complexity, black peppercorns and a granitic infused mineral finish. Wonderfully polished sweet plush tannins make this a seriously generous wine that will offer rewarding drinking on release, but that will undoubtedly be cellar worthy for another 10 to 12+ years of development.
