Medium-bodied with blackcurrant and spice from the Cabernet and plums and raspberries from the Merlot. Lovely dark core of fruit but lifted and fresh too, 7 months in 300 litre cask has added depth and weight. Very well balance and food-friendly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFounded in 2015 Compagniesdrift was launched by farm workers with ties to leading Stellenbosch wine properties Meerlust, Vriesenhof and Ken Forester. The initial focus was a logistics business helping small wineries to store and distribute their wines. The next step was to launch their own wines made by renowned Meerlust winemaker Altus Treurnicht.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eCountry: South Africa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eRegion: Western Cape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eVintage: 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eGrape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eABV: 13%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eSize: 750ml \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crushed \u0026 Cured","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55584438124920,"sku":null,"price":20.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/6962\/3071\/files\/best-red-wine-south-africa_29ad9658-c604-443d-9649-386ddacafc83.jpg?v=1781785456","url":"https:\/\/crushedandcured.co.uk\/products\/compagniesdrift-cabernet-merlot-western-cape-south-africa-2022","provider":"Crushed \u0026 Cured","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
