Wildekrans Warrant 2002

Deep dark purple in colour with an opaque mountain pool centre. The aroma is complex due to a combination of the balanced use of new oak and ripe fruit - layers of blackberry, cassis and spice. Big up front spicy black and red berry fruit with a well-structured complex and classic Bordeaux blend palate.

We believe there are no rules, experiment to your hearts content. Meatloaf stuffed with eggs, barbecues with chicken or meat, sirloin steak, beef ravioli with cheese, pepper steak, apricot beef stew.
