Tasting Note

Darker fruit on the palate is layered with a rich graphite minerality, rounded by a touch of sweet spice nutmeg and underlying vanilla. - MARTIN FOURIE, WINEMAKER

With a velvety palate, each sip reveals intense flavours of dark chocolate, ripe berries, and plums. The Book XVII's layered depth, masterful balance, and exquisite finish earn it a place among the world's most sought-after wines. A harmonious ensemble of rich textures and refined nuances.
