Raoul's Red 2010

Berry fruit from the Merlot dominates the nose, backed by lovely spice from the Tinta Barocca. A mixture of mulberry and cherry fruit flavours on the palate, with spice and soft tannins giving the wine good length and freshness.

This wine will go well with roasted red meat, lamb, game, quail, cold meats and Carpaccio. Try a beetroot glazed ostrich dish to enhance both fruit and spiciness, or paprika flavoured chorizo to mirror the smoky, spicy Tinta Barocca flavours.
