Born and raised in France, from a Calvados family, Christophe Durand moved to Cape Town in 1995. Initially working as a supplier of premium French wine barrels, he became more and more involved in winemaking, eventually combining his knowledge and passion for fines wines to create Dorrance Wines. A strong proponent of tradition, Christophe�s philosophy is to interact as little as possible with the grapes, leaving each cuv�e to reflect the elegance of its terroir. The Dorrance portfolio includes stunning vineyards from across the Western Cape.Tasting Notes... This seductive red has a perfumed nose of violets, spice and purple fruits. The medium to full-bodied, food friendly palate is finely textured with firm but approachable tannins and as fresh, lingering finish.
