Tasting Note:
Color: Crimson red.

Palate/Taste: Very interesting, on the palate there are red fruits not dark fruits. Crisp and refreshing. Moderate tannins (6/10) and moderate body. Clean and moderate finish.
Opinion: Same ageability as the cape blend but slightly better. Definitely an amazing QPR wine!
