Colour Deep, rich red with a purple undertone Bouquet Fruit and flowers dominate the nose with an earthy undertone truly expressive of the Helderberg terroir and fynbos Taste Minerality and dark berries follow through onto the palate A multi dimensional and engaging wine with a good combination of freshness and concentration on the mid palate Food pairing This wine perfectly complements smoked red meat and poultry and is excellent served with charcuterie and mature cheeses
