Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

Kiss & Tell personifies the perfect marriage between the Old World and the New World.

The only wine in the world to integrate three iconic Old World varietals into a New World blend, Kiss & Tell is a couture Cape offering that delivers a truly enchanting lifestyle experience with a wealth of immediately gratifying sensations that promise a more complex and rewarding relationship with time.

Appearance

Deep opaque magenta core extending to medium purple rim pushing a watery saffron edge. Clear, brilliant lustre and luminosity with long legs and notable colour extraction that foreshadow a complex and full bodied wine.

Nose

Sophisticated nuances of wild blackberries, ripe raspberries and fresh black cherries complemented by whiffs of sweet black liquorice and West Indies spices such as whole cloves, nutmeg and black peppercorns. Hints of vanilla, cinnamon and long leaf Cameroon tobacco allude to established oak pedigree.

Taste

Mouth filling with soft, sensuous tannins. Well balanced acidity underpins velvety mouth feel. Initial intensity of flavours include saut?ed black plums, burnt black cherries and candied black currants finessed by mid-palate nuances of roasted red peppers, rosemary and Burgundy anise. Trailing tones of mocha and melted dark chocolate smoulder seductively in your mouth to deliver a long, luxurious farewell.
