Avontuur Vintners Red 2007

Colour: Deep garnet
Aroma: Velvety nose with white pepper, ripe plums and cherry upfront. Also typical Helderberg Cabernet Sauvignon nuances of fynbos pine forests to add interest.
Flavour: A juicy, medium-bodied wine with a dry finish but attractive fruit on the palate. Dark chocolate results from the wood treatment. Over-delivers on the price!
Finish: Long, attractive finish, with prominent wood at release, but with enough fruit to hold it together.

Enjoy with charcuterie, robust meaty pasta dishes, pizza's or with a braai.
