Mulderbosch Description
Mulderbosch Faithful Hound celebrates the virtues of Bordeaux’s great tradition of blending. Aside from investing considerable effort in their own vineyards in close proximity to False Bay, their quest to find the perfect sites for each of the five varieties used in the blend led them 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.
James Suckling: 90 Points
Aromas of melted chocolate, blackberry and blackcurrant. Medium- to full-bodied with soft tannins. Juicy and savory on the palate, with more herbal character coming through. A tad short. A blend of 29% merlot, 28% cabernet franc, 20% cabernet sauvignon, 14% petit verdot and 9% malbec. Vegan.
