The wine displays an inky garnet colour in the glass. From the start, there is a depth of fruit that is noticeable with sappy dark fruit intensity. Crushed blackberries, sour cherry, violets and spice mixed in with hints of earthy notes give a layered complexity on the palate. The wine has a vibrant acidity, powdery tannins with soft oak flavours that gives it a bit of richness.
Pairs well with mushrooms stuffed with ham or bacon, monkey gland burger, cottage pie, venison pie, braaied/char grilled ribs or chops, and of course a meat lover’s pizza.
