Tasting Note

Opaque centre with lighter brick red edges, young and vibrant red. Starts out more herbaceous with lavender and thyme in the lead. Cabernet franc much more predominant with some whiffs of coffee. Then comes the cassis, raspberry and perfumey rose petals. Elegant and accessible entry, fullness is a given. A seamlessly put together palate. Beautiful balance of fruit, wood and acidity.

On the palate, this wine is rich and full-bodied with a luscious tannin structure and a long, smooth finish. Morgenster Lourens River Valley Red is a true representation of the world-class wines that Stellenbosch has to offer.
