EMPIRE 2021
The red brother of Empire Strikes Back is EMPIRE - not striking back but just being himself.
With Cabernet Sauvignon as driver and bits of Merlot and Cabernet Franc to compliment.
The old style design label shows a combination crest. The wine maker combined the crest of Stellenbosch University and Elsenburg College - The 2 Empires when it comes to wine education - which he studied at both.
The Story
Today I'm standing up to defend the EMPIRE - STELLENBOSCH. Silently, she’s been re-aligning her troops and now strikes back at the Swartland to establish herself yet again as a formidable force.
PS, this wine has a voice note recording by the wine maker, accessed in a QR code label on the print, which makes for great storytelling and wine knowledge experience.
