The wine is named after Louis-Michel Thibault, the famous French architect who designed many of the Cape's magnificent 18th and 19th century buildings. The De Wetshof Estate's main building is based on Thibault's famous Koopmans-De Wet House in Cape Town, and the winery's design is also modeled on one of the architect's drawings.
The Bordeaux-style wine fuses two of the world's great classical red cultivars to create a wine of elegance, power and individuality. The soil, sun and aspect of De Wetshof allows the wine to express freshness, bright red fruit and delicate plushness. Typical Merlot and Cabernet characteristics, however, lie at the core. Here intense dark berries, bittersweet chocolate en pencil shavings about, while palate weight, depth of presence and a lasting finish enhance the experience of drinking a red wine of substance and pedigree.
