Wildekrans Caresse Marine Merlot 2006

Intense deep red in colour this wine is fruit driven with a rich medley of stewed plums and black currant aromas. Flavours are well rounded with juicy soft tannins and a lingering aftertaste.

We believe there are no rules, experiment to your hearts content. Beef lasagne, grilled sirloin steak with mushroom sauce, boeuf bourguignon, beef pot roast, gourmet pork chops, rack of lamb, chicken breasts stuffed with bacon, avo and camembert.
