Intense, vibrant ruby. Fresh red raspberries and currants upfront with tweaks of hazelnut and herbaceous Italian parsley leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the wine displays a generous warmth with flavours of dark, ripe cherry, sweet plum and stewed raspberry. The clean and elegant aftertaste is friendly, dry and very well balanced. Extremely friendly in its youth the wine should gain in complexity to an age of three to five years. Some favourites for pairing with this wine are pork and peanut wantons with soy sauce drizzles, pulled mutton bolognaise, braaied lamb chops and juicy Boerewors.
