Stellekaya Cape Cross 2006

Name: Stellekaya Cape Cross 2006
Brand: Stellekaya
SKU: 29783

A rich melange of summer berries, red berries and raspberries. Intense fruit upfront, well balanced full bodied wine with good tannin structure. A follow through of juicy flavours to finish off.

Game meat and game fish pairs very well with Cape Cross. Fruity desserts like coffee mousse with apricot strudel matches well with this wine due to its berry flavours.
