A deep colour of blackberries and full ripe cherries. Chocolate, cloves, allspice, smokey oak and freshly ground pepper bouquet are prominent on the nose. On the palate; dark cherries, cloves, nutmeg and Allier wood spices combine to give an exceptionally balanced wine. Soft tannins with sweet extract, natural fruit complexity that lingers on the tongue. To quote winemaker, Mike Dobrovic; 'Opulence at its best!'
Serve at 19°C. Ideal with char grilled black mushrooms; moussaka; game – especially Springbok; pan-fried pork filled; Ossobucco; and waterblommetjie bredie (a traditional South African lamb stew made with an endemic Cape water lily).
