Lanzerac Kurktrekker Cinsaut 2022

The Keldermeester Versameling Kurktrekker has a floral nose with supple, fruity undertones. The palate is silky with an understated length, owing to the use of 100% Cinsaut from a higher altitude vineyard in Jonkershoek.

Mediterranean style dishes, such as, Moussaka, or Lamb shoulder roasted with herbs and green olives and capers. Duck pâté with a spiced plum jelly. Asian spiced duck with plum sauce. Steak cooked on the bone with vegetables grilled on the fire. Springbok loin with beetroot and hazelnuts.
