Winemaker’s Notes :

 

Tasting Notes : Medium bodied dry red. This wine is a medley of aromas and flavours, being a blend of 50% Ruby Cabernet, 25% Pinotage and 25% Touriga Nacional, and draws individual flavour from each varietal. Deep ruby red, with flavours of raspberry, black current, plums, vanilla, and chocolate. Sweet on the nose and dry on the palate. With its soft tannins, this wine can be enjoyed now and for many years to come. It is best paired with red meat, hamburgers, pizza and pasta, hearty broths, and stews.
