Description
FirstCape’s Special Cuvée wines are made from specially selected parcels of grapes sourced from high-quality vineyards. The vines are sheltered by the Slanghoek mountains, whose cooling shade leads to fresh fruit flavours. With notes of plum, mulberry and bramble fruits, this is an approachable, delightfully soft red that’s ideal for a relaxed evening in.
