WINE DESCRIPTION
Crafted with precision and dedication, KWV The Mentors wine embodies the essence of excellence. Hand-picked grapes undergo rigorous sorting to select only the finest varieties. Following fermentation, the most promising wines embark on a journey of maturation in French oak barrels. After 12 months, a meticulous selection process identifies the cream of the crop for further refinement. Finally, after a total of 18 months in barrels, 70% of which are first-fill, the culmination of this laborious process emerges – a blend that epitomizes the best of each variety.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This South African Bordeaux blend offers generous notes of dark cherry and plum on the nose, with toasty oak and a hint of cocoa.On the palate, it is soft and velvety, with a long finish of dark berry fruit and clove. Enjoy with a hearty stew or lamb shank.

ORIGINS
Winery: KWV
Region: Western Cape
The Western Cape is a province of South Africa located in the south-western corner of the country. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Eastern Cape to the east, and the Northern Cape to the north. The Western Cape is home to some of the world's most renowned wine regions, making it a paradise for wine lovers.
The Western Cape has a long and rich history of winemaking. The first vines were planted in the region in 1655 by Dutch settlers, and the first commercial winery was established in 1685. Since then, the region has become one of the most important wine-producing regions in South Africa.CUSTOMER RATING
