Named after a famous bull with an exceptional pedigree, Brampton Roxton is a bold and distinctive red blend crafted from ultra-premium vineyards in South Africa’s Coastal region. This unique blend of Petit Verdot (84%), Shiraz (10%), and Malbec (6%) results in a wine with unrivaled depth, complexity, and personality.
The Petit Verdot lends a muscular structure to the wine, while the Shiraz adds rich flavor and spice to the mid-palate. Malbec brings bright berry fruit, creating a well-rounded profile. On the palate, Roxton delivers intense black cherry flavors with dark chocolate and spice, leading to a long and lingering finish.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Dark black cherry with hints of dark chocolate and spice.
Palate: Bold and rich, featuring black cherry, dark chocolate, and a mid-palate spice from the Shiraz, rounded off with bright berry notes from the Malbec.
Finish: Long, smooth, and lingering, with a perfect balance of fruit and spice.
Grape Variety:
This blend was meticulously crafted from hand-harvested grapes. The Petit Verdot was aged for 16 months in 20% new French oak barrels, while the Shiraz and Malbec spent 12 months in older French oak. This careful aging process enhances the wine’s depth and structure, giving it the ability to age for up to 10 years from the vintage.
Food Pairing:
Brampton Roxton pairs perfectly with roast red meats, barbequed steak, game, and pulled pork burgers, making it an ideal companion for hearty meals.
