A bold and beautifully balanced red blend from South Africa’s Stellenbosch region. Creative Block 5 brings together five classic Bordeaux varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot — creating a rich, layered wine with plenty of depth and character. Expect generous aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of dark chocolate, spice and oak. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins, concentrated dark fruit and a long, smooth finish. A versatile red that is equally at home alongside a hearty steak, roast meats or a rich pasta dish, while also rewarding those who enjoy a wine with the structure and depth to develop in the bottle.
