Aslina Umsasane 2019

Aslina wines are produced by South Africa’s first black woman winemaker, the talented Ntsiki Biyela, who continues to pioneer the way for women around her.

This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Umsasane is the umbrella tree (Acacia tortilis) that shades and protects and was the nickname of Ntsiki’s grandmother. The bold structure, smoothness and complexity of this wine reflects the characteristics of Aslina, the matriarch of the family.

Bordeaux Red Blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, & Petit Verdot, sustainably farmed and hand picked. 16 months in French oak, 30% 1st use. Cocoa, cedar, & plums.)
