Vrede en Lust Boet Erasmus 2009

Dominant dark berry aromas, followed by pencil shavings and cedar on the nose. Layers of flavours with clean lines. A wonderful balance between the elegance of the wine, oak and the  purity of the fruit.

Beef fillet, rump & sirloin steak as well as meat dishes paired with rich sauces. Also pairs well with a range of mature and rich cheeses.
