Nose The Phoenix 2018 shows an intense array of aromas, with blackcurrant and delicate liquorice complemented by notes of dark chocolate and freshly ground coffee. The aromas are deep and layered, promising great structure from the first sniff. Palate Powerful yet remarkably elegant, the wine brings together ripe dark fruit and finely structured, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long, silky and harmonious. A characterful red wine with impressive balance, depth and a lingering finish. Vintage The Phoenix 2018 tells a special story. In the wake of the devastating fire at Avondale in January 2016, nature’s remarkable capacity for renewal became clear. Before long, new life began to sprout as the Protea seeds started to germinate. The name “Phoenix” – a symbol of rebirth and renewal – was an obvious choice.
