Mooiplaas Langtafel Red 2012

The object with the Langtafel range is pleasant drinking with good value. 2012 was a good vintage for reds, producing wines with intense colour and fine berry flavours. Oak staves were added after blending to enhance complexity, without losing sight of the initial objective i.e. a soft and very drinkable, fruit driven wine.

Tomato based pizza & pasta dishes, grilled chicken & red meats, BBQ, charcuterie (especially salami & smoked ham), light stews.
