Kanu Keystone Red Blend

Medium dark in colour with youthful rim. Initially a shy nose but opens up to reveal cassis, warm spice notes and juniper berry. Touches of vanilla from the ageing in barrel and a sweet berry compote. The palate is full bodied with grippy, but ripe tannins tannins and a definitive line of acidity. Nuances of tobacco leaves, crushed chocolate mint leaves and dark, brooding fruit vie for attention. The wine finishes dry with a strong emphasis on blue berries to add a perceptive sweetness and round off the after taste. Enjoy this wine now, or savour it for the next 10 years.

More Information - Kanu Keystone Red Blend

Deep and intense in colour. Shy at first, the nose opens to classic notes of cassis, cedarwood and pencil shavings. Beautiful black fruit hovers expectantly in the background. Intense palate of bright red and black fruit, a touch of green olive herbaciousness, velvet gloved tannins and a defining acidity. A long and complex finish.
