Confident and stylish, the wine entices with potpouri, cinnamon, pepper, hints of olive tapenade and a light perfume of sandalwood. Centre to that is a solid midpalate with a rich yet fresh display of fruit set on tightly knit tannins to deliver a long, savoury finish. Nuances of rose petals and bitter-sweet liquorice linger to add that extra bit of character.
Its seductive personality makes it a great choice for hearty South African stews.
It’s underlying freshness cutting through rich and fatty flavours.
Try this with a venison potjie or pepper and honey-glazed pears.
