An exciting red wine that combines the classic Bordeaux grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec with the Cinsault variety, which is very common in South Africa. A homage to the golden decade, the 1970s, in which South Africa achieved world fame with its cuvées of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault. This blend goes perfectly with hearty braised beef, game dishes and tagines.
