Van Loveren African Java Pinotage 2013

Oak matured with vibrant plum and ripe berry fruit on the palate. The wine has an intense aroma of roasted coffee beans followed by a smokey mocha-java aftertaste.

Ideal with hearty red meat dishes such as Osso Bucco. Try with venison, lamb, barbecues, curry, game birds, spare ribs and meat stews.
