Old Harbour Red
R120.00
Description
Whalehaven commemorates the historic Old Harbour that has been a Hermanus landmark since 1855. A mouth-filling wine with aromas of sweet spices, dark plums and cranberry notes, followed by flavours of liquorice and sweet vanilla lingering over a velvety smooth finish. A wine to enjoy.
