The wine has a deep dark red colour with chocolate, cinnamon spice and wild red berries on the nose. The pallet is dense, very well rounded and supported with a velvety tannin structure and flavours of ripe cherries, mulberries and cassis.
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.
