Brand: Vriesenhof Vineyards
SKU: 18026

KALLISTA - "To Kalon Kai Agathon", derived from Plato's statement that in life one should look for "the good & the beautiful/noble", is the Greek name chosen for the flagship blend in the Vriesenhof range of wines from Vriesenhof Vineyards, in Paradyskloof, Stellenbosch.

Young and lively with compact fruit. The wine shows powerful acidity with dried fruit flavours with little regard from the oak, although it was matured for 30 months in 2nd fill barrels.

The Kallista is a meal on its own or just have it with a simple creamy cheese like brie.
