A voluptuous and stunning red from Elgin on South Africa's Western Cape. The valley is a quick one-hour drive from Cape Town, and is surrounded by lush forests, orchards and flora, The valley’s wines are truly something else, made from grapes that ripen slowly because of Elgin’s fertile soil, elevation (350 m above sea level) and cool Mediterranean climate. The result is world-famous ‘cool climate’ wines that are delicate, elegant and age beautifully due to their higher acidity.
The name of the wine is a translation of Eternal Night which is due to it's sensuality and dark colour.
Grapes were picked from 3 different vineyard sites and the thick skinned Syrah has given the wine amazing colour with a savoury bouquet of black olive, spicy fruit and white pepper. Flavours of berry fruits with fine ripe tannins solidify the wines elegance and allow it to age gracefully.
