Diemersfontein Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Exceptional cassis and cloves, with a touch of dried herb and vanilla aromas. The palate delights with elegant flavours of blueberries and cherries followed by well-structured and firm tannins.

This wines ripe fruit, tannic structure and herbaceous notes tend to brighten up already hearty and rich dishes. It adds an extra sparkle to herb crusted rack of lamb, grilled steak and even Grandma’s simple meatballs.
