Description

Tasting Notes The approach shows a burst of dark fruit, cassis and plum, with a very delicate herbaceous note. The round mouthfeel with grippy, yet elegant, tannin, has a weighted indulgence across all aspects of the palate. A delicate greenness offers balance to the richer characteristics of the wine, ensuring a lingering aftertaste with hints of fennel leaf liquorice. Food Pairing Pair this wine with venison dishes such as venison pie, or with a more traditional South African Kudu or Springbok fillet on the braai.
