Description
Dark red almost purple colour. The dark colour and concentration is typical of the Swartland area. Aromas of black currants and dark cherries. Distinct dark fruit flavours. The wine has a good length with a dry finish.
This well-structured wine will be the perfect match with slow-roasted rosemary lamb, springbok medallions or a rich pasta.
