Details
Dark ruby. Nose is smoky, spicy and laced with berry and ripe fruit, all supported by woody undertones. Full-bodied wine with delicate spices, subtle presence of oak and vanilla flavours and a round, creamy finish. The winemaker suggests enjoying it on its own or with Mediterranean dishes such as spicy lamb and meat casseroles. It is also a good partner to roasts, oxtail and even the traditional South African barbecue.
