The nose of this classic French wine cuvee has dark fruits and a touch of meaty black olives. The tannin structure is dry with a leafy spice. It is a well-structured wine that will reward with aging.

Lynx is located between Stellenbosch (15 minutes), Paarl (15 minutes) and Franschhoek (10 minutes) in the foothills of the Klein Drakenstein Mountains. Our boutique farm is one of the smaller wineries in the district. If you stay in the idyllic village of Franschhoek, you should definitely visit our extraordinary winery on the outskirts of town.

Our winery does not only offer an absolutely picturesque landscape, it also has a variety of fascinating wines that you simply have to taste. Our guests appreciate the fact that we welcome them in a familiar way, let them taste our wines which we produce with passion and dedication, and provide them with insight into the production process. We are an individually managed company that makes wine mostly by hand and allows its guests a very private experience of wine tasting.
