Winemaker’s Notes:

 

Tasting Notes:

This dry, medium bodied red wine is rich in flavour with very soft tannins allowing it to be enjoyed only a few months after harvesting. Deep ruby colour and earthy character and a palate of ripe plums, cherries and blackberries. Best enjoyed with friends at a braai or with pizza and pasta, spaghetti bolognese, hamburgers, beef roasts lamb and venison.
