About this wine

Fusion V 2020 combines Cabernet Sauvignon (c. 50%+), Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from meticulously farmed, ocean-influenced vineyards on the Polkadraai Hills. The wine is deeply coloured, with aromas of cassis, blackberries, cherries, cedar, coffee and anise, and a Bordeaux-like palate of ripe yet fresh fruit, structured tannins and long oak-inflected finish. Aged around 12–18 months in French oak (high proportion new), it is designed to age comfortably for 10–15 years.
