Winshaw Family Vineyards Bill Winshaw 2017 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R295
'67% cab franc with malbec, cab, merlot in fine 2017. Leafy fragrance with dark fruit & tobacco overtone. Herbal twist on expressive, graceful palate (despite 14.5% alcohol); balanced tannins & good dry finish. Both reds should mature well - this more approachable now.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (93/100)
'It’s the Bill Winshaw 2017 that stands out. Consisting of 67% Cabernet Franc, 18% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, it was matured for 24 months in 225- and 300-litre barrels, 37% new. The nose shows red and black berries, cigar box and pencil shavings while the palate has a dense core of fruit, bright acidity and fine tannins, the finish long and particularly dry. It’s a harmonious, elegant offering.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100
