Credit goes to Jancis Robinson for introducing us to this fantastic steal of a Rhone-esque red field blend from South Africa's Swartland. Medium weight with endless layers of wild berries, #pepper, dried #herbs, earth and fine tannins for great food (or without!) versatility.

Nice wine. I say it competes with rhone for the price. Lots of red current and pepper.

South African Rhône Style Blend. (A hefty amount of Shiraz and Cinsault with just a touch of Pinotage added). Classic Rhône barnyard funk on the nose along with pepper spice and smoke. Ripe current and strawberry fruit on the pallet. Outstanding quality for the price. So well made and extremely versatile. Drink young or let it age a bit. (Like I did with this one). Great with food. Revisited in March 2021. Starting to show its age but still quite good.
