"Dark ruby red color. The bouquet on the nose is intense and typical with hints of dark cherries and blackberries together with more complex aromas of wet leather, black olive and Indian ink in the background. On the palate it is dry, rich, full-bodied, with a refreshing, long and fruity finish." —winemaker

"Mulderbosch Faithful Hound epitomizes Bordeaux’s esteemed blending traditions, meticulously crafted from select vineyards near False Bay and premium sites in Bottelary. This harmonious blend showcases Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec, sourced from 10 to 35-year-old vines rooted in shale-rich soils. After aging for 14 months in neutral French oak barrels (80%) and stainless steel tanks on lees (20%), Faithful Hound elegantly marries old-world f inesse with the lush fruit generosity synonymous with Stellenbosch, offering a rich palate of nuanced flavors and a lasting, sophisticated finish." —winemaker

"Brilliantly, light yellow in color with greenish tints. Strong and lively nose, typical Malagouzia, suggesting rose petal with floral aromas and sweet spices, melon, litchi with a note of honeysuckle. Round and mellow on the palate, fat but balanced, high in alcohol with plenty of finesse. Well structured, reminding the nose aromas with a hint of rosemary. A richly textured wine with superb length and balance. A classy wine with long finish and persistent aromas." —winemaker

"Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2024 shows a pink grapefruit character, concentration and mid-palate texture, which reflect the carefully selected sites and hand harvesting during the small window of perfect ripeness." —winemaker
