A bold and expressive South African red wine from the Western Cape, crafted by the acclaimed winemaking team at KWV.
The Mentors Canvas 2020 is a richly layered and complex blend that brings together Shiraz, Petite Sirah, Carignan, Tempranillo and Mourvèdre in perfect harmony. Deep ruby in colour, it opens with intense aromas of dark cherry, plum and mulberry, interwoven with hints of clove and spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and concentrated, showing ripe berry fruit, supple texture, and soft, chalky tannins. The finish is long and elegant, balancing depth of flavour with a sense of refined power. This Western Cape red showcases the best of South Africa’s terroir-driven, expressive winemaking.

"This is one of those wines that stops you mid-sip – the fruit is so pure and beautifully defined. Layers of plum, spice and dark cherry just unfold, each one more inviting than the last. It’s powerful, but with real finesse."
