The careful selection of the two noble varietals and the transfusion of new clone fruit from cooler regions is now producing a modern wine, showing a fresh, aromatic nose and ripe fruit on the palate. The 2001 Edelrood has a young, red colour and complex flavours such as delicious blackcurrent, tabacco leaf and dense mocha.Soft and elegant, the palate is laced with minty ripe fruit and spicy vanilla, result of the increased portion of barrel maturation. Nederburg Edelrood complements oxtail, casseroles, beef, quiches, stragonoff, bobotie, roast venison or even pizza and pasta dishes.
