The nose is dark and generous – ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums lifted by violets, pepper, and earthy spice. Subtle threads of smoke and vanilla speak of careful barrel ageing, adding depth without masking the fruit.
On the palate, concentrated layers of cassis, blueberry, and mulberry drive the wine forward. Velvety tannins and vibrant acidity give it both power and balance, while hints of cocoa, liquorice, and dried herbs reveal themselves with each sip. Full-bodied yet refined, it carries the intensity of dryland vineyards in every glass.
The finish lingers long, leaving notes of dark chocolate, cedar, and a mineral edge that echoes the Swartland soils. Innibos is built for the table – slow-cooked lamb, game, or rich stews – but it also rewards patience in the cellar. Drink now, or let it rest for five to eight years to unlock its full depth.
