Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2018
Nose: Upfront aromas of vibrant red fruit and notes of spices, supported by subtle oak nuances of mocha and cinnamon.
Palate: The wine boasts a well defined round and elegant structure and lush red berries, ensuring intriguing and juicy tannins. It reveals the best of both varieties in the blend and finishes in a soft, lingering after-taste.
Serve with flavourful meat dishes such as lamb accompanied by a sweet mint sauce, as well as Cape Malay curries and bobotie. Slow-cooked beef pot roast is an ideal partner to this blend.
VARIETY : Cabernet Sauvignon [ 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20%
