Product information "Vuurberg Reserve Red 2018"
The Vuurberg Reserve Red caresses the nose with an exciting bouquet of red and black berries, fragrant cloves, rosemary and cigar box as well as a subtle earthy touch. The full-bodied and balanced palate presents ripe flavours of dark berry fruit, neatly underpinned by lively freshness, fine tannin and a supple texture. Finishes long and smooth with a pleasant dry finish.
Donovan Rall's wine production is very limited and his wines present themselves in an incredibly powerful style, but without being too heroic. The use of different grape varieties from different growing areas, with skilful use of oak, gives the wine complexity and a certain luxuriousness, both on the nose and on the palate. Donovan manages to create wonderfully balanced and harmonious wines, even at the full-bodied end of the spectrum. Multi-regional wines with remarkably stylish character in classic New World style.
