The Producer
An icon of South African winemaking. We are lucky to have a small allocation of these wines. Marc Kent's gurus are the Guigals and Jaboulets of this world and he has a selection of their wines in a corner of the cellar. His Syrah certainly could be from Cote Rotie and Platters Wine guide gives it five stars. The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon was Davids most talked about wine at last years South African wine Trade fair. Greg visited the winery in Franschoek recently in the middle of harvest when Marc kindly spared him a few minutes A semillion is also made along with some affordable but excellent exuberant barbecue wines under the Porcupine Ridge label.
The Wine
Creamy elegant perfumed yellow fruits dominate this wine. Plenty of mineral characters and hints of barrel fermentation add to what is already a very complex wine.
Single Bottle: £15.99
In a case of 12: £15.19
