Cabernet Sauvignon
LIMITED EDITION
The wine is classic and elegant and at the same time bold and full-bodied with intense aromas of black bramble berries and black currant with a hint of blueberries. Oak aromas are well integrated and add to the complexity of the wine with underlying graphite and cigar box notes. Dark blackberry and plum flavours dominate the palate, followed by hints of dark chocolate. A firm yet well-integrated tannin structure and lingering finish.

Tasting Notes
When to Enjoy: A rich and full wine to enjoy relaxing around the fire or with a scrumptious meal.
Our Meal suggestions: Cabernet Sauvignon, classic and elegant in style, yet so rich, integrated and layered with wholesome flavours and mouthfeel. It is, therefore, best with aged prime rib or T-bone steak, medium rare – olive oil and mustard seed rump served with a peasant salad (everything except the leaves) or a hearty oxtail. Non-meat options can prevail too, such as black bean stew but don’t be limited by these ideas. Wine is most enjoyed – your way.

Chardonnay
LIMITED EDITION
The Chardonnay grapes are planted on some of the best southwest-facing slopes.
The two vineyards are lying at altitudes that range from 200-320 meters above sea level; these higher South West facing elevated slopes tend to give wines beautiful natural acidity, resulting in a pleasant pungency and longevity. The richness and full-bodied fruit has been accentuated by the open canopies of the vineyards during ripening.
All these flavours are backed with a minerality from the decomposed granite soils of the Polkadraai Hills.

Tasting Notes
This Chardonnay has superb and distinctive aromas of citrus and pear with a subtle oak aroma of roasted almonds. The palate is both rich and refreshing with a combination of lime-citrus and white pear flavours. The wine is classically dry, yet luxuriously silky with superb viscosity and length.

Chenin Blanc
The wine is made from unirrigated 39 year old Chenin vines planted in 1981. The vines are South West to West facing and are grown in decomposed granite soils high up on the farm at 300m above sea level.
The grapes were whole bunched pressed and cold settled overnight, after which the juice was racked to barrel and a concrete egg for fermentation. Regular lees stirring was done for the first three months to add extra palate weight and creaminess to the wine. The wine remained on the gross lees for 9 months before being racked and blended for bottling with the final blend having 10% concrete egg, 10% new 500L French Oak, 20% second fill and 60% in third and fourth fill barrels.

Tasting Notes
A clear and bright wine with hints of lime and gold. The nose has aromas of apricot, yellow peach and quince that follows through onto the palate with undertones of pineapple and citrus. The creamy texture of the palate is supported by subtle oak flavours and a minerality that is underpinned with bright and juicy acidity.
This wine is vegetarian and vegan. Closure with a cork and wax covering

Merlot
Two very different vineyards in Stellenbosch supplied the fruit for this wine. The first site, 350m above sea level on the south-west facing slopes of the Polkadraai Hills area, provides bright and juicy fruit with good acidity, tannic weight and absolute fruit density on the palate. The second vineyard on the lower South Western slopes of Polkadraai Hills, offers Ribena Ripeness, generosity and length on the palate. Although soil types differ between the sites, they all have some form of decomposed granite lying over structured clay subsoil allowing for ample drainage and water retention when required

Tasting Notes
Rich and generous with plush concentrated flavours of plums, chocolate and a combination of red and black cherries. Layers of red fruit, strawberries and hints of red cherries that cover the palate from start to finish. For those with a fondness for a softer yet full-bodied Merlot, then this is your investment wine – a wine that, with maturation, will reward you handsomely.
About the
African Royals Range
The African Royals Edition is a concept inspired by Ms. Mmatlali Lucia Motloung who is the founder and CEO of Luc Mo Wines (Pty) Ltd. As a young African woman, Motloung created this special range after noticing that there were no stories of Africans told in the wine industry.
Following a comprehensive research about the African Heritage, culture, and history, Luc Mo Wines partnered with the AmaNdebele Royals from South Africa and executed a ground-breaking wine range that includes unique hand-crafted wine accessories and wine tasting shows with a central focus on African stories.
The purpose of this legacy range is to embrace and articulate the true history of the African Royals and the communities which they represent in a respectable, elegant and sophisticated manner with the long-term ambition of also providing employment to the locals in the communities represented
by the African Royal Families who are on board as participants of the edition.
