MORE INFORMATION:
A beautiful deep, inky burgundy colour. It’s a full-bodied wine with a complex nose of black and white
pepper, blackcurrant and spice. The palate is intense with ripe blackberries, plum and a hint of dark,
bitter cocoa. The long-lasting palate ends with well-balanced tannins with a silky soft finish. A truly well balanced beauty that makes this a winemakers’ selection.
This complex, full bodied wine will pair well with red meat with allot of flavour such as matured
beef fillet with peppercorn sauce or Karoo lamb with rosemary. Venison dishes like springbok
fillet with fresh coriander or Kudu will accompany the beautiful wine nicely. For the sweet tooth,
we will recommend chocolate mousse or baked dessert dressed in layers of dark chocolate.
