Diemersdal MM Louw Estate Red 2007

This classically styled Bordeaux blend was made up through a careful selection process to find those barrels that would complement one another best and give the utmost expression of the Diemersdal vineyards and winery. The nose shows lead-pencil shavings, fresh red berries and blackcurrants. On the palate all components are in balance with a lengthy elegant finish.

Classic "old-world" dishes such as roast lamb with fresh garden vegetables.
