Warwick Three Cape Ladies 2009

Dark berry and stewed fruit aromas fuse with spicy pepper flavors which compliment the full bodied ripe tannins. This blend brings the best of Pinotage to the classic French varieties and will age well for the next 15 years.

Serve with a spicy tomato stew made with sun-ripened tomatoes or a black mushroom risotto. Serving temperature: 16-18°C.
