Avontuur R44 Rougue 2013 Magnum

Colour: Rich plum colour. Aroma: Black berries and cherries offer a fresh fruitiness with hints of smokiness and a whiff of dark chocolate. Flavour: The medium to full bodied palate introduces a juicy berry fruit profile with sufficient tannic structure to enhance the ageing potential. Subtle wood maturation and a gutsy finish add to the wine’s attraction.

Perfect for a gathering with friends or family. Goes well with any red meatmenu eg on the braai, or during winter with a rich, slow cooked stew orroast.
