Mulderbosch Faithful Hound celebrates the virtues of Bordeauxs great tradition of blending. Aside from investing considerable effort in the vineyards in close proximity to False Bay,the quest is to find the perfect sites for each of the five varieties used in the blend led us from cooler sites to the rich, shale soils of Bottelary. The goal with each bottling of Faithful Hound is to produce a rich, complex wine that comfortably expresses old world class and the generosity of fruit associated with Stellenbosch.
Finely textured tannins and savoury flavours such as cured ham and dried porcini mark the palate. This is a wine of nuance rather than outright power. Theres plenty of depth of flavour, and the palate unfolds evenly, revealing a well balanced, moreish blend. Given the quality of the vintage and the provenance of the fruit, this is definitely a vintage that will reward further cellaring.
