Classic sweet aromas leading to an elegant, velvety palate with a wonderful balance between sweet cassis and slightly spicy oak characters.
Pairs well with herb-crusted lamb roasts, mutton kebabs with chunky grilled vegetables, grilled Swordfish and many more.

Winemaker’s comments
Colour: Bright ruby of medium intensity.
Nose: Sweet aromas of ripe red fruit with faint hints of fresh basil. Very classic.
Palate: Medium-full bodied, velvety and incredibly elegant. Wonderful balance between sweet cassis flavours and slightly spicy oak characters. Final tannin grip will relax with time and gives an indication as to the ample aging potential.
Ageing potential: This wine should reach its full potential at around six to ten years of age.
Food pairing: Herb-crusted lamb roasts, mutton kebabs with chunky grilled vegetables, grilled Swordfish and many more.
