Wildekrans Barrel Select Reserve Cape Blend 2012

Flagship red blend from the two cultivars that stand out the most in our ward. Great red fruit flavours from Pinotage combined with delicate hints of blueberry and cloves from Shiraz, a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon for a touch of herbaciousness and fynbos.

A red for all occasions in the kitchen. Game would be the first option. Serious wine for serious dishes.
