Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Dark plum colour
Bouquet
Initially pleasant floral aromas emerge. As the wine opens up, these are subtlely replaced by ripe blackcurrant and other blackberry aromas. The bouquet also reveals pleasant spicy oak aromas and hints of mocha.
Palate
Intense follow-through of blackberry flavours from the bouquet. Delicious fruit flavours enchant the mid-palate. Firm tannin structure suggests this full-bodied wine would be at its best when paired with food. The wine has a spicy oak finish accompanying each mouthful.
Impression
This elegant wine brings the winemakers passion for blending to the fore. The three varietals each contribute unique flavours and character to the wine to make this a wonderful drinking experience.
Food pairing
Beef carpaccio, oxtail and other flavourful dishes. Something interesting would be a roast loin of lamb with apricots and rooibos.
