It isn't every day that we're able to find fantastic wines from older vintages, but when we do, we grab as much as we can! Such was the case with the 2012 vintage of Morgenster's Lourens River Valley, the flagship red from this highly-esteemed South African winery. Sourced from vines grown in the foothills of Helderberg Mountain, Morgenster Lourens River Valley is a classic Bordeaux-style blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc aged for at least 12 months in French oak.
Though Morgenster Estate's history stretches back at least 300 years, it wasn't until Giulio Bertrand purchased the property in 1992 that the winery's potential was fully revealed. Drawing on his Italian heritage and advice from Château Cheval Blanc's Pierre Lurton, Giulio determined that the Estate would be perfectly suited to the production of high-quality Bordeaux grape varieties - and we're sure you'll agree. Enjoy this complex, full-bodied red now or over the next 5 years at 18 C.
