The Paarl Valley is a South African wine-producing region that is known for its viticulture, lush landscapes, and beautiful orchards. The wine region is surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges and has a lovely warm climate and nice cool breezes in the autumn. The town of Paarl is one of the oldest European towns of South Africa, but its name is pronounced differently by the Africans. This region is home to many wineries and is a popular destination for wine-tasting and touring. The Paarl Valley mostly features white wine grapes, but the location is prime for reds as well. Since the luxurious climate of the region is typically warmer compared with regions such as Stellenbosch, red wine grape varieties tend to grow quite well there. These varieties tend to grow well typically in high elevation. The wine region is known for varieties of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Chenin Blanc , Chardonnay and Semillon varieties that grow in the region.
The city of Paarl is known for Nelson Mandela’s exit from the now Drakenstein Correctional Center after almost 30 years in prison. The region is also known for the beautiful Pearl Mountain or Paaral Rock, which is a large rock that has been compared to the many wonders around the world.

COLOR Deep, dark brick red to blood plum
AROMAS A seamless blend of crème de cassis, hazelnut, cocoa, blackberry preserves, a charry meat toastiness, dark fruits and blackberry pie along with suggestions of dark licorice, stewed rhubarb, strawberry, spice and vanillin.
PALATE Rich and satisfying with chocolate brownie, yogurt, molasses, brown sugar and rhubarb notes presented in perfect balance with higher-toned fruit emphasis.
STRUCTURE The wine’s weight is first felt on the front of the palate but then coats the entire mouth with placating tannin and a light, pleasing grittiness. This weight, ideally counterpoised alongside the acid, leaves the mouth watering. Great persistence on the finish.
Dark ruby red in the glass, with rich notes of chocolate, black currant, ripe blackberry, and marionberry with hints of toasted oak and dark cherry on the nose. The palate is rich and complex with flavors of ripe dark fruits, chocolate cherry, plum, toffee, and blackberry pie. This wine has a lingering fruit-forward finish with firm acidity and smooth velvety tannins. A classic yet complex Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
