NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, Wanderer's Heart offers a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes.There is also a hint of spice, adding depth and intrigue to the aroma.
The palate is equally impressive, with a medium to full body and velvety tannins. The flavors of red berries continue to shine, complemented by a touch of black pepper and a hint of earthiness. The wine displays excellent balance and structure, with a long and satisfying finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Thorne & Daughters
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
