Description:
An elegant red berry nose with juicy cherry and plum on the palate. Perfect for everyday drinking with red meat, tomato-based pasta dishes, pizza and cheese.
Awash with tropical fruit on the nose and palate, this is a crisp, dry white wine which can be enjoyed either on it own as an aperitif or matched with many dishes including chicken, seafood or cream-based pasta dishes. (12 x 75 cl)
A dark reddish-purple wine, full of dark chocolate and Mocha coffee on the nose. Well-structured wine with a nutty, dark chocolaty finish. (12 x 75 cl)
Our Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards are 16 years old, situated on southwest-facing slopes. Fermentation of the vintage happened in closed tanks for nine days at 26ÂșC, while the juice was pumped over every six hours, resulting in a 14% alcohol level. The wine was then matured in French oak barrels for 14 months. Try some of these words to describe the first impression: succulent, savoury, powerful, broad-shouldered, elegant. Ripe mulberry / plum fruits with cool cedar whiffs make a splendid introduction on the nose. The full rich palate is seriously structured, with ripe mulberry fruit backed by fine, slightly juicier tannins that end with a lovely dry finish. This South African Airways selection winner's charms won't fade for another 4 (6 x 75 cl)
