This wine reveals a delightful array of aromas, with subtle hints of fynbos and vibrant red fruit taking center stage. On the nose, fragrant strawberries blend seamlessly with earthy undertones, setting the stage for the palate. Upon tasting, you'll find a lively burst of pomegranate rubies and ripe raspberry, delivering a refreshing yet complex profile that evolves with each sip.
Balancing this fruit-forward character are delicate accents of white pepper and a gentle touch of oak, adding depth and sophistication to the experience. Best enjoyed at 18 °C, this wine pairs beautifully with braaied meats and dishes featuring aromatic, spiced vegetables, making it an ideal companion for rich, flavorful meals.
