This wine was made by the award winning winemaker Ntsiki Biyela. This is a Bourdeaux style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Umsasane is the Zulu word for umbrella tree which gives shelter, protection, and comfort. It was Ntsiki’s grandmother’s nickname and the bold structure, smoothness and complexity of this wine honour the characters of Aslina. This blend is a full bodied wine with layers of fruits and plummy characters. Good bold structure, tight ripe tannins, and a good balance of wood and acidity that gives this wine a long, lingering finish.
