Full-bodied Pinotage and Shiraz blend with rich and complex aromas. Perfectly balanced with flavours of ripe red fruit and nuances of black pepper and oak spices.
Incredibly versatile with food, possibly the best combinations are with roasted game dishes as well as with some harder cheeses after a few years of maturation.
