A blend of 7 cultivars, 70% French, 30% South African.

Vinification Details
This is a fruity, early drinking, medium-bodied wine and is a blend of several cultivars. There is no single dominant varietal. The wine comprises 70% un-wooded French wine from Chateau Capion (Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, Cinsaut, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) and 30% Saxenburg wine (Cinsaut, Cabernet Franc and Tinta Barocca) matured for 6 months in wood. A wine of deep ruby-red colour, intriguing flavours of ripe maraschino cherry complimented by a gentle smokiness and scents of forest and herbs. A medium bodied wine of fine balance. Fresh berry fruit predominates matched by smooth, soft tannins. Lovely as a young wine, it has the potential to mature for some years. Grand vin Rouge is ideal on its own, but is an excellent accompaniment to pizza, chicken, carpaccio and other light meat dishes.
