Italian born Giulio Bertrand then in his mid-60s, bought the neglected Morgenster Estate in 1992 and immediately set about transforming the historic property in Stellenbosch's Somerset West into a leading wine producer. And he was the energetic dynamo that drove things right up to his death in 2018 at the age of 91. Bordeaux is the driving influence behind their wines and they specialise in four of that region's classic varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. These days director and wine Consultant Pierre Lurton, of Cheval Blanc and d'Yquem fame, works in tandem with resident winemaker Henry Kotzé and viticulturist Bob Hobson, which sees them turning out their reliably good Bordeaux blends.
A lovely wine, with scents of ripe raspberry, sage and rosemary on the nose, and well-defined flavours on the palate. It has good substance and richness, with complex hints of cedar wood and cigar box
