Cobus Basson was a beloved young farm owner who lost his leg when a tractor overturned in the Carignan vineyard. Being a man of great spirit, he affectionately became known as 'Houtbeen' (Pegleg). This is our homage to him and the oldest Carignan vineyard in South Africa. Ideal for the drinkers on the hunt for a wine with enormous character and depth of flavour.

Light, bright red in the glass. Layers of fresh red cherries, fynbos, aniseed and spice entices the nose. On the palate tight tannins bring linearity to the red fruit flavours and fresh acidity.
