Helderberg Winery Reserve 2023

The wine is deep and opaque in appearance with a vibrant, inviting and intense bouquet of brooding black fruits and classic cassis. Whiffs of churned soil, graphite and tight spicy notes add to its complexity. The core of perfumed black fruits follows through onto a juicy, yet structured palate, with flavours of blueberries, mulberry and fresh, dark plums. The wine is supple and lithe, with a medium to full-body and a mid-palate offering cocoa-powdery tannins and a gravelly, dusty texture, with a mouthwatering acidity to balance. Red liquorice lingers on a bold, clean finish.
