A bold South African red blend with exceptional character

The Olifantsberg Soul of the Mountain The Bull Breedekloof 2018 is an expressive and complex red wine from the Western Cape region of South Africa. Crafted from a carefully balanced blend of Syrah (42%), Carignan (22%), Mourvèdre (20%), and Grenache (16%), this premium red blend wine offers a unique reflection of its mountainous terroir.

On the nose, it bursts with wild aromatics of sage, spicy bramble, and ripe red berry fruit. The palate is vibrant and engaging, showing intense fruit purity, bright acidity, and finely layered tannins. This balance makes it a compelling choice for wine enthusiasts seeking South African red wines with depth and elegance.

With an alcohol content of 14% and a moderate body (BodyValue C), this red blend achieves excellent structure and drinkability. The residual sugar (2.3 g/l) ensures roundness without sweetness, offering a dry, harmonious finish.
