Kanu Rockwood 2006

A nose of dark chocolate and raspberry, complimented by the peppery, nutmeg and cinnamon notes of the Shiraz component. Soft, velvety tannins with lively fruit that ends in a long dry finish. Drinking well now, but will benefit from two to three years’ bottle maturation.

Serve at 21°C. An everyday social red to be enjoyed on its’ own or with coarse country patés, and game terrine. Serve slightly cooled in summer with cold ham and salads
