2016 Pangaea "Wine Of The World" 0,75lt.
One wine of absolute quality.
Deep shiny Garnet with touches of royal red and fuchsia on the rim. Beautiful nose of spices like thyme, pepper with touches of minerality like slate balanced with roses, vanilla bean and macerated Cherries. Soft entrance evolving on a dense mid palate with granular but fine tannins lingering on fresh cut red fruit like strawberries with touches of black cherries and plums.

In all my itinerant years, I never thought I would taste grapes from all over the world blended together. - Michel Rolland
It was in 2017—six years after we’d first conceived of Pangaea that we stood in a cellar in South Africa with all the barrels before us: Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, Merlot from Bordeaux, Petit Verdot from Spain, Cabernet Franc from South Africa, And Malbec from Argentina. Michel remarked how, in all his itinerant years, he had never tasted grapes from all over the world together, and never thought he would. It was not just an incredible experience, but a journey – with one sip we’d be standing on the cool clay of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, with another we’d be at the foot of the Andes. Steered by Michel’s great skill and propelled by lively debate, we forged a blend, the continents inching closer with every bit of progress we made. We walked vineyards rooted in centuries of history
and tapped into generations of knowledge.
All the while, we drank.
And as we sipped the produce of the
the world’s most sacred soils
an unmistakable vision took shape: that of a singular
Bordeaux-style wine sourced from the finest vineyards on Earth
We’ve focused on the grapes whose expression of terroir best represents this vision,
and nurtured them to make the very best wine possible.
Guided by tradition but ignoring all borders and boundaries,
we’ve brought the world’s greatest winegrowing sites into one bottle.
And we’re bringing that wine, called Pangaea, to a world that was once one.
