MORE INFORMATION:
The wine has a brilliant colour – deep, dark, intense and bright. Aromas of concentrated ripe black-currants, blueberry fruit flavours with ripe red cherries, olives, violets, tobacco leaf & cedar wood with a touch of Cape fynbos greet you on the nose. The palate is dense, structured and explosive, bursting with upfront berry fruit flavours. Very well rounded & supported with a silky, velvety ele-gance which include flavours of black cherry, olive, cassis & mulberry fruit. The complex palate will awaken your taste buds and leave you wanting more of this big, bold wine. Decant before enjoying.

Versatile when it comes to food pairing options but undoubtedly a big wine which will pair well with big foods. Steak, kudu, ostrich, roasted springbok haunch, venison pie – this wine can handle it all well. It will go well with grilled or barbecued foods as it latches on to the pronounced ‘browning’ flavours that develop with these cooking methods. It tends to not go well
