About this Item

2021 Frans K. Smit Heritage Reserve Red
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

“The balance of the vineyard is probably the most important thing…if the soil is fantastic, the plant will be great.” - Frans Smit

61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 18% Petit Verdot

Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch
Winemaker: Frans K Smit

This wine is a unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, all planted in 2003. A portion of the wine consists of a fermented blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The vineyard is situated at an altitude between 200m and 240m on a northwest-facing slope, offering optimal growing conditions. Located 8km from the sea, the Helderberg Vineyard benefits from an ocean view, contributing to the wine's distinctive character.

Tasting Notes: Rich and complex with a seamless velvety texture, layered red currant and cacao aromas, and inky density - a signature of the high percentage of Petit Verdot. This wine is destined for great maturation.

Ready for drinking now until 2035.
