Vrede en Lust Simond 2005

The Simond is made for wine lovers looking for an accessible, high quality red wine at a price point that allows for regular enjoyment. The Simond is a careful blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine is lightly wooded, with a firm backbone and layers of complexity.

The wine bursts with rich, ruby hues, ripe flavours of blackcurrant and raspberry layered with caramel and chocolate. Hint of spice and succulent tannins with a silky finish.

Goes well with cheese dishes, tamato based dishes, pizza, pasta and richer meat dishes (such as lamb or ox-tail) and is great with a barbeque.
