Lanzerac estate is one of the icons of the Stellenbosch winelands, a historical and cultural landmark, reflected in the quality of its wines.
A South African Bordeaux blend made from 6 varieties, named after the French General rumoured to have been the true love of Mrs. English. This wine is the best blend from selected barrels from the particular vintage. A full-bodied Cabernet-base with an aroma and flavour of vanilla and nutmeg spice, dark berries, stewed plums, blackcurrant. Supported by robust yet smooth tannin structure to give a long finish of dark chocolate imbued with smokiness. Grape varieties were fermented and matured separately for 1 year and 8 months in new and 2nd use French oak barrels, after which final blending took place. Ideal for further ageing of 5 to 10 years. Recommended with roast beef, venison, wild pheasant, wine-stewed dishes, or fillet with pepper sauce.
