Details
The Cape Boar is a lightly oaked blend in a Bordeaux style. The Doolhof Cape Series celebrates several of the unique animals and birds of Southern Africa.
This blend consists of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Malbec and 12% Petit Verdot. A perfumed wine with a concentrated dark purple colour and plum and blackcurrant aromas, it offers mint and cloves on the palate. Well balanced for early enjoyment, it also has ageing potential.
Serve with rack of lamb and roast potatoes.
