COPY OF Vriesenhof Jan Boland Coetzee 2023

Youthfully tinged, deep ruby in appearance. Crunchy fennel and oregano notes pair well with ripe Merlot fruit, providing a complex blend of aromas. Subtle notes of wood spice provide an aromatic lift. Cabernet Franc lends earthy spice whilst Cabernet Sauvignon provides deep, robust tannins and a firm, juicy palate. A bold blend that will mature for some time in the bottle, yet approachable in its youth.

Pizza, meat dishes or a great accompaniment for a braai – to be enjoyed with friends.
