The wine has a deep dark red colour with cranberry, ripe red cherries and mulberries aromas on the nose. The pallet is dense, very well rounded and supported with a velvety tannin structure and flavours of dark chocolate, juniper berries and hints of freshly roasted coffee, tobacco leaf and wild spices.
Slow cooked casseroles made with less-tender cuts of meat, which are already brimming with flavour, herb-roasted or spiced meat and vegetable dishes, robust and ethnic dishes from all over the world served with savoury sauces with a little dark chocolate and flavoured with a dash of chili will all go very well with this wine. It will also pair well with game dishes ranging from pan-fried kudu or ostrich steak, roasted springbok haunch and venison pie to rabbit with prunes, stuffed quail and roast duck.
