Rondekop Rhodium 2020

The depth of flavour found on the R hodium intensifies with every subsequent vintage. The wine displays a deep ruby hue in the glass. On the nose, you will find rhubarb and roses, alongside red cherries and raspberries. This delivers a stunning fruit spectrum. The palate adds a weighty, savoury element - with violets, lavender and grapefruit pith adding a seriousness to this wine. A beautiful finely grained tannin structure and a racy acidity complement one other, adding a lengthy, lingering bitter-almond finish.
