Product information "Stellenbosch Vineyards The Flagship Right Bank 2018"
The Flagship Red from Stellenbosch Vineyards is truly a drop of the very finest! Wonderfully concentrated, it is a deep ruby red in the glass and exudes the senses of dark cherry and blackcurrant aromas. On the palate it is juicy, full-bodied and velvety with subtle undertones of sweet spices and plum, which end in a hint of fine dark chocolate. The finish is long lasting and thoroughly enjoyable! What a wine!

The grapes for this particularly fine wine were harvested by hand and selected and sorted with great care for the further production process. The fermentation of the grapes lasted for 3 weeks and took place in stainless steel tanks. The wine matured for an incredible 48 months in French oak barrels (60% new wood) and was lightly filtered before bottling.
