The name Penny Black refers to the first stamp that was ever printed as well as to the dark inky black colour of the wine.

An elegant wine witha soft entry but with a firm but supple finish. Dark inky black colour. Initial nose of floral petals, also of fynbos (South African heath), blackcurrant, fruitcake, whitepepper and spice. Rounded tannins and ample fruit results in a layered and complex wine.
