Boplaas Family Reserve Ring of Rocks 2011

Bright garnet coloured wine, with a complex bouquet of ripe plum, black cherry, cassis and black hedgerow fruits, piquant spice, fynbos and wisps of charred oak entice the sense. An abundance of black hedgerow fruit, cassis, cherry, cracked black pepper, plum and undercurrents of dried herbs combine seamlessly with supple tannins and charred oak notes on the elegant, structured and complex palate. The traditional Bordeaux blend given a Portuguese twist.

Enjoyed with hearty rustic dishes – especially beef stews, grilled lamb cutlets, venison pie, ostrich fillet and char-grilled rib eye steak; vegetarian dishes; mature cheeses.
