Ingwe Red Wine - 2003(W-915)

Ingwe Red Wine
Fresh, Fruity Smooth & Elegant

Winery Story

It was a chance meeting with Graham Knox at a 1995 oak auction in Tronçais, France that led Bordeaux-bred Alain Moueix to purchase Farm 14,... (more...) a 40-hectare farm overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Alain was attracted to this site by his keen and innate sense of terroir and a firm belief that it could yield unique world-class red blends. At Ingwe, Alain found the outstanding natural environment to make a unique South African red blend. True to his Bordeaux roots, Alain and his team’s primary focus has been on establishing the Ingwe vineyards and maximizing their potential for producing the highest quality fruit.

Tasting Note

This blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon has a rich structure, balanced with silky velvety tannins as a result of the combination of clay... (more...) and gravel in the soils. On the palate succulent sweet fruit, displaying typical Bordeaux Blend characteristics with beautifully textured wine flavors of savory plums, raspberry and subtle, well integrated oak.

Bottlenotes Team NoteMarch 30, 2009
Had a glass of the Ingwe with some sauteed spinach and a bit of the famous Fred's Steak from Schuba's last night. (Absolutely great rub- super salty, which I loved.) But the smoky character of this South African wine was the perfect complement to the pairing. Yum yum.
