Hermanuspietersfontein Die Martha 2009

Concentrated, noble, rich with perfect wood integration; black olive, cinnamon, buttery, violets, leather and mushroom characteristics. Ruby, brick red with a muscular body, rounded tannins and generous length. Consistent intensity with a solid structure and a clean finish.

This elegant & full bodied wine with good undertones of soft fruit will go well with peppered beef fillet with beetroot & horse radish crème; or char grilled tuna or try it with mature cheddar or Gruyère.
