Cederberg Old Ways Longavi Grenache Noir 2021

A flirtatious nose grabs the attention with upfront chocolaty mocha aromas, underpinned by layers of ripe plum, red cherries and raspberries.

Serve it slightly chilled, by the glass as a perfect game-viewing partner – wildlife or on the field. It will elevate any braai or barbeque where red meat or game fish is being cooked over hot coals. Glorious with sticky BBQ spare ribs or chicken wings and even with spicy mushroom arancini. For a midweek treat, serve it with tagliatelle with black mushrooms and truffle butter
