Capaia ONE 2018

Tasting Notes
Analysis & Info

This harmonious blend of 5 red varieties, led by Cabernet Sauvignon, offers a subtle nose of dark fruit flavours with a surprising hint of mocha. The beginning of the palate is filled with smoked/cured meat flavours. On the back palate you’ll find dark fruit flavours, like black berries and plums that lingers in the mouth. Firm, but not overwhelming tannins, enough to add the structure needed for a well-aging wine.

* This wine is also available in 1.5L, 3L, 5L, 9L and 18L bottles. Please email info@capaia.co.za to enquire availability and shipping costs for these items.
