A Bordeaux-style blend, the Crastino 2015 Cape Red comes from organically grown vines (ranging from 14 to 25 years in age) at the bottom tip of South Africa, in the Paarl Valley.
This dark purple-hued wine is one of seamless elegance with layers of mineral-intense fruit and gentle, soft tannins that are uplifted with fresh acidity. On the palate, full bodied flavors of classic dark berries mingle with hints of tobacco to embody the vital elements so sought after in the great wines of this region. Enjoy!
