Mulderbosch 2016 Faithful Hound Red Blend Stellenbosch, South Africa

Description

Mulderbosch Faithful Hound celebrates the virtues of Bordeaux’s great tradition of blending. Aside from investing considerable effort in their own vineyards near False Bay, their quest to find the perfect sites for each of the five varieties used in the blend led them from the cooler sites to the rich, shale soils of Bottelary. The goal with each bottling of Faithful Hound is to produce a rich, complex wine that comfortably expresses Old World class and the generosity of fruit associated with the Cape. This is a traditional Bordeaux blend and is even more delicious when paired with dinner. A classic blend of noble red varieties, the wine displays both serious structure and delightful fruit, making it approachable in its youth but undoubtedly worthy of cellaring.
