The Flagstone The Last Word Cape LBV presents itself of deep and intense ruby red with a light red rim in the glass and exudes an invitingly delicious bouquet of dark fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg and fine baking spice. Also hints of rum and raisins, a fine nuttiness, compote, leather and smoky vanilla cigarillos can be sniffed. A lovely sensation opens up on the palate, which marries with sweet and sour nuances of dried apricots and peaches and ends in a sweet and dry finish with warming notes of plumy and spicy compote.

The ripe grapes were picked by hand and sprayed with brandy during fermentation to prevent further spontaneous fermentation of the berries. This is the typical South African way of transferring the ethereal nuances and aromas of fermentation into the classically dense and complex handmade reds. A wine of great structure with the fruity and spicy character of the Touriga and Shiraz, but with a slightly higher sugar content. The use of 100% American oak provides dark chocolate tones, which skilfully round off this pleasurable wine.
