About
The SMV is part of Lomond's premium range and is a limited edition release. Definitely one for the cellar, a great example of what is possible from this incredible cool climate region! Lomond, in the Gansbaai area, is situated in the valley of the Uilenkraal River and located at a most southerly latitude - 34 ̊ 34 ́ south. It is one of a handful of wine farms within the Cape Agulhas appellation of origin. Altitudes vary, with some blocks around 50m above sea level, while others are located around 100m above sea level, with an unhindered exposure to the sea.
Product Features
- Colour: Clear, vibrant and rich ruby red.
- Nose: Juicy red fruit with ample black pepper and other spices and hints of floral notes.
- Taste: Rich and intense flavours of pepper, dark chocolate and spice with soft, silky tannins.
- The Syrah was fermented dry in stainless steel tanks, transferred to barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing.
- The Mourvèdre was fermented in 500 kg open bins followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing in 300-litre barrels.
- The Viognier spent the first third of fermentation in stainless steel tanks before being transferred to old 300-litre barrels for the remainder.
- The wine was left to mature further in a combination of new and older French Oak for between 12 and 14 months before being blended to obtain the optimum blend.

We're big believers in retail therapy
The stats we're presenting here are based purely on our staff, who make up a tiny percentage of the general population, but they tell us that 100% of our staff that ordered something online exhibited signs of excitement when that thing was delivered.
We know the saying "Money can't buy happiness", but you don't often see someone crying on a jetski - and not just because all that water splashing around would make it hard to identify the tears in the first place.
Although we do have to ask: if our savings are this good, shouldn't we be calling it discount therapy instead?
