Sommelier’s Flavour Profile

- Taste: A robust, full-bodied palate defined by well-managed, supple tannins and a persistent, fruity core. The finish is lengthy and smooth, echoing the dark chocolate and spice from the nose.

A wine of this calibre deserves thoughtful service. Decant for 60 minutes and serve at a generous cellar temperature (16°C-18°C) to maximise its aromatic expression.
- Food Pairings: Classic Roast Lamb Casserole, Hearty Beef Stews, Traditional South African Bobotie, or Grilled Venison.
