Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

Tao is the only wine in South Africa to combine three temperamental southern European varietals into a robust and rewarding offering that celebrates the joie de vivre that comes from sharing life with family and friends.

A combination of Zinfandel, Barbera and Sangiovese aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, this is a once-off offering of 200 cases.

Satisfying sensations of baked blueberries, sun-soaked blackberries and orchard cherries in a bold yet balanced fruit forward opening that yields to softer, more sensuous strokes of black peppercorns and Mediterranean spices that tickle the mid-palate in the most intriguing ways. Whispers of Italian espresso and melted dark chocolate deliver a luxurious and lingering farewell that completes a truly enjoyable and unique lifestyle experience.
