Qvevri is a large amphora! Big dark fruit bouquet. Soft dark fruit up front. And then a burst of that Zinfandel pepper in the middle. Finishes with an earthiness. You can taste the separate layers! At Bandana’s African Wine Tasting. I had this with a roasted duck bobotie which matched perfectly!

Pale ruby color.
Aromas of barnyard, red fruit.
Dry. Flavors of black fruit, forest floor, leather. Tangy with amazing acidity! Fresh but with aged notes. Very interesting!
