Product information "Van Loveren Rhino Run Ian Player 2016"
The Van Loveren Rhino Run Ian Player is a powerful and lush blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The use of 100% French oak wood has transferred elegant notes of Christmas plum pudding and fine tobacco nuances into the wine. The nose reveals wonderful aromas of cigar box, dark chocolate, eucalyptus and mint - aromas which, together with the soft smoothness of Merlot, create a wonderfully complex and full-bodied wine.
The wine is named after wildlife activist and founder of the Player Ntombela Foundation, Dr. Ian Player, who dedicated his life and career to the protection of the African rhino. The Rhino Run wine series was created to raise awareness and light on rhino poaching in Africa and to support both education and conservation with the donations raised through the sale of the wines. For every bottle sold, Van Loveren Family Vineyards will donate part of the proceeds to the Player Ntombela Foundation
