Description
Food Pairing: “Most young bold Bordeaux blends pair well with something hearty. Big flavors abound and team well with a prime piece of beef, lamb, venison or duck. It is also a wine to sip on its own to enjoy uncovering the secrets of its complexity.”

Winery: “Bertrand set about acquiring the expertise to realize his dreams in line with his motto: “Where there is quality there is no compromise”. He built a long-term partnership with the Olive Oil Research Institute of Italy from where he imports the worlds most up to date olive tree cultivars and production technology. Morgenster’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil was judged “Best Blended Olive Oil in the world” L’Extravergine 2006 and the Morgenster mill was awarded “Mill of the year” L’Extravergine 2007. The Estate continues to garner coveted local and international awards. Blessed with a superb terroir which seamlessly blends elevation, climate, soil and cooling winds off the nearby Atlantic Ocean, Morgenster’s vineyards are planted mainly to Bordeaux varieties and smaller quantities of Italian cultivars. From its custom-designed cellar, the South African winemaking team works in consultation with Pierre Lurton of Chateau Cheval Blanc in France. Lurton is also a director on the board of Morgenster.”
