The 2008 vintage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from Darling and the Helderberg slopes, Merlot from Simonsberg Stellenbosch, and Cabernet Franc from Darling. All the grapes were handpicked and sorted by hand prior to fermentation, and a total of only 26 barrels were produced.
The wine spent a total of 26 months in 85% new French barrels in which time it was only racked twice, before being blended and bottled. True to the style of Epicurean, it is an elegant, subtle and refined wine with very good aging potential.
