#121 Morgenster Tosca 2015
The Circle Life
Winemaker Henry Lotze has been working on the Tosca for most of the last decade, incrementally increasing the percentages of Sangiovese. The result of all the component shifts is that the classic sour-cherry-&-herbs elements are well and truly in the spotlight, making the Tosca blend a delightfully distinctive South African red blend that stands out from the crowd on the local scene.
Henry also seems to have been channeling the current spirit of the SuperTuscan producers in Bolgheri, who have come full philosophical circle – after their adolescent rebellion against the DOC regulations of the motherland – and are now themselves embracing Sangiovese and other indiginous cultivars. It’s a topsy turvy world out there, but a bottle of this will sort you right out.
