Aslina, Umsasane, Red Blend, South Africa, 750mL

Aslina wines are produced by South Africa’s first black woman winemaker, the talented Ntsiki Biyela, who continues to pioneer the way for women around her. This is a 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 characteristics of Aslina, the matriarch of the family. This full-bodied red blend that shows layers of complex fruit, spice and cocoa notes.
