Idiom Cape Blend 2018

A velvety opulent wine made with the Cape’s own grape Pinotage blended with noble varieties. Rich and intriguing aromas and intriguing flavours suggestive of black forest cake with notes of cigar box and ripe cherries. Soft tannins, red fruit, and a lively finish are hallmarks of this wine that is a signature of South African excellence.
