About
The correlation between our SURVIVOR Wines Range and these Indigenous cattle can be seen through the diversity of our selection of cultivars on specific terroirs, which is reflected in the uniqueness of each Nguni’s hide.
The history of the Nguni cattle is etched deeply into the soil of South Africa. A series of great migrations of Nguni-speaking people (from which these cattle get their name) brought this uniquely identifiable species into our country over 2,000 years ago. They are synonymous with wealth and status and play a core role in many South African cultures. It’s this venerable tradition, and the story of one particular Nguni cow called SURVIVOR, that brought about SURVIVOR Wines.
Product Features
- The wine has a deep ruby color, inky depth, and a hint of garnet on the rim, igniting your senses with its arresting purity of fruit.
- It comes alive with an amalgamation of flavors, engulfing your palate with red currant, dried cranberry, red plum, plush mulberry, and juicy black plum.
- A subtle note of cedar and wet slate adds a cool lift to the intensity of fruit, with aromas of freshly tilled earth and spicy notes of sweet English leather catapulting you back in time.
- This old-world charm evokes a sense of romanticism with a subtle perfume of rose petals and violets without forfeiting its youth and vibrancy as only the new world can offer.
- All of these nuances traverse your senses like a pendulum swinging between its old-world essence and new-world confidence.
- The balance persists with uncanny fruit purity on the palate and a refreshing acidity poised on fine-grained tannin, complete with a chalky mouthfeel and a long persistent finish.
