Overview

Mulderbosch believes that their estate wine encapsulates their past, present, and future. This meticulously crafted red blend, made with only estate Cabernet Franc, showcases a finessed and finely balanced profile that reflects the estate’s rich heritage and commitment to quality. Grown exclusively on Mulderbosch’s diverse soils, the grapes undergo parcel separation and light punch downs during fermentation in stainless steel. Afterward, the wine matures for 16 months in 300L French oak barrels, carefully selected to enhance complexity while preserving fruit purity. With 30% new oak and a blend of 30% 2nd fill, and 40% 3rd fill and older barrels, this blend promises layers of complexity that will evolve gracefully over time.
