Fortitude embodies both strength and elegance, pulling together the best qualities of South Africa’s Cape vineyards. Crafted in small quantities by the husband-and-wife team at Fledge & Co., this wine reflects their vision of balance, authenticity, and character. The name speaks to the resilience of winemaking in diverse and sometimes challenging terroirs, where bold fruit thrives under the Cape sun but retains vibrancy thanks to cooler mountain influences. Each glass shows how thoughtful blending can create harmony from diversity, offering a red that is luxuriously rich yet refined.
Fortitude opens with aromas of black plum, cassis, and ripe cherry, supported by notes of cedar, mocha, and warm spice. On the palate, it is plush but well-structured, with polished tannins and lively acidity carrying the fruit flavors forward. Hints of graphite and dried herbs add intrigue, building layers that reveal themselves over time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine finishes long, balanced, and satisfying, offering both comfort and complexity.
