Mooiplaas Langtafel Red 2010

The object with the Langtafel range is pleasant drinking with good value. 2010 Was a good vintage for reds, producing wines with intense colour and fine berry flavours. Oak staves were added after blending to enhance complexity, without losing sight of the initial objective i.e. a soft and very drinkable, fruit driven wine.
