The The Last Elephant from the Winery Franschhoek Cellar is a cuvée made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Merlot.
Only the best grapes produced by the Winery each year were used for the The Last Elephant. The pleasant tannins create a complex yet smooth palate experience and a long-lasting finish.
The nose is impressive and shows aromas of black currant, juicy cherry, cedar wood, and cigar box. These aromas are complemented by raspberries and spices. On the palate, the wine is elegantly powerful.
The The Last Elephant tells the story of the elephants, which once roamed the mountains of the Winelands in Franschhoek.
He was aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels.



Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec & Merlot
This cuvée combines dark fruit with supporting tannin structure. Malbec and Merlot often contribute plum and cherry notes as well as fullness, while Cabernet Sauvignon shapes the blend with cassis aromas, tannins and often freshness. Malbec can intensify the depth of colour , while Merlot can make the palate feel rounder. Herbal or spicy nuances complement the fruit; acidity, body and tannins also depend on the site, ripeness and ageing.
The grape varieties are found, among other places, in Bordeaux and Argentina , without this combination requiring a specific origin. In the glass, it usually appears deep ruby-red to purple. Stylistically, the spectrum ranges from juicy and approachable to full-bodied and structured; ageing in oak can contribute additional toasted aromas. It pairs well with pan-seared meat, braised vegetables or mature cheese.
