About this Item

2018 The Game Changer Cabernet Franc - Merlot
36 (6 x 6) 750ml

“Wine shouldn’t be a pretentious thing. If people can see ‘Wow, I can fit in with this, nobody is going to ask me a funny question or look at me funny’, then they feel much more at home. That’s how we approach it.” - Rianie Strydom

78% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot

• The wine is exclusively made for the CWG Auction.
• The vineyards are grown on deep clay soils that give it balanced structure, retaining fresh acidity and good depth.
• Aged in 50% new oak for 18 months prior to bottling in November 2020.

Tasting Notes: Perfumed, elegant, sweet raspberry and cherry fruit inviting you into a soft powdery tannin palate graced with seductive dark chocolate and a mid-core of chalky notes.

Ready for drinking from 2027.
