Anwilka Stellenbosch 2017

Concentrated cassis and damson fruits, bitter black chocolate that is set against tight tannins, all softened by toasted oak cedar and fresh elderflower and redcurrant acidities. This is built to last, and even at four years old I would suggest leaving another year or two. An excellent vintage in Stellenbosch with a warm summer and long, cool ripening during harvest, and there are plenty of subtle layers of flavour here.  3.6ph. 50% new oak and 50% one year old French barrels, all 400l in size.
