Characteristics:
Grapes grown on bushvines on the slopes of Simonsberg, up to 67 years of age. Bold aromas of plums & blackberries, with layers of vanilla, smoky notes and roasted nuts on the nose. The palate is packed with flavours of plums, cherries, black figs and pomegranate, complemented by dark chocolate, black cherries and spicy oak. The integrated and ripe tannins, together with the satisfying acidity, result in a balanced wine with a long finish, promising great maturation potential. Maturation potential of 20 to 25 years from vintage.
Food Pairing:
A fantastic food wine! Red meat or spicy Asian style dishes especially when served young, go for aromatic curries, venison or duck. Excellent with lamb when matured. Vegetarian aficionados can serve it with grilled aubergines or portobello mushrooms.
