Veritas 2005 - Bronze
This deep ruby-coloured wine has a captivating fruit bouquet displaying cherry jam and dried peaches backed by a good whiff of toasty oak together with fresh, leafy aromas. The flavours are repeated in the mouth with notes of strawberry and chocolate in the lingering aftertaste. “This wine speaks of intensity,†says winemaker De Wet Viljoen.
Cabernet franc has a wide appeal and as such is a perfect match for a weekday lunch. It can be described as the winter version of the chilled white wines of summer! It is ideal served at 16 to 18°C with more delicate red meats such as grilled lamb chops and fillet of beef or pork with creamy sauces. It goes equally well with veal piccata, hearty soups, strongly flavoured chicken dishes, Christmas stuffed turkey with trimmings and lighter stews and even fish.
