Idiom Primitivo 2010 SOLD OUT

An explosive wine typical of our exotic Zinfandel. Aromas of fynbos and a fusion of sage, rosemary and mint dominate the nose. Intense, evolving flavours of blackberries and raspberries on the palate enhance the sweet cooking herbs making the mouth water at the thought of the potential food matches. A wine with a long lingering finish.

Slow roasts, ie. Leg of Lamb with Rosemary.
