Darling Cellars Wildflower Cape Ruby NV

Rich ruby red colour with a beautiful, forth coming nose showing notes of spice, ripe plum, kirsch and dark chocolate. This wine exhibits a balance between ripe fruit flavours, supple tannins and hints of oak.

Serve as an aperitif or partner to decadent deserts. Will also pair well with mature cheeses and charcuterie. Alternatively enjoy as a mixer in cocktails or serve on the rocks!
