2002 Mont du Toit Le Sommet
An ambitious red blend. The 2002’s precise blend is a tightly held secret. The result is a magisterial, yet dignified and controlled wine. From the region of Mont du Toit Kelder at the foot of the Hawequa mountain, bordering Paarl, the center of wine production in South Africa. Some 27 hectares of vines grow on north and northwest facing slopes of weathered granite, with sandy loam in the lower areas. This rewarding blend should reward cellaring for 5 to 7 years.
