Description
André Bruyns, former assistant winemaker to David and Nadia Sadie, is now vineyard manager at Swartland property Lammershoek (recently under new ownership). He did not release any wines form the 2021 vintage under his City on a Hill label due to difficult trading circumstances but he’s back with a bang with his 2022 new releases.
Tinta Barocca is a red grape variety originating in northern Portugal where it’s a common blending grape in port wine, but in South Africa produced as single varietal wines for good reason. It’s an aromatic, medium-bodied wine boasting flavours of mulberries; raspberry jam and plum with hints of cocoa and spices that pairs well with rump steak; slow-roasted port shoulder and anything Portuguese.
