An easy drinking Cape classic!
Really juicy, accessible and soft. A nose of pure crushed fresh raspberries with a Swartland sandy element complete with a palate of summer berries, cream and dark spice in the finish.
Boutinot South Africa is driven by their passion for discovery and desire to capture the real essence of South Africa in every bottle. It was through a love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led Boutinot to South Africa in 1994, where they pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in the region. Their home grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw, Ryno Booysen and Pierre Louw drive the energy and enthusiasm for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey's expertise in finesse. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking the rules and pushing boundaries.
This red is made from a blend of Shiraz, Petit Verdot and Cinsault grapes from the Swartland area where the powerful South African sunshine makes sure these reach their utmost ripeness.
All grapes are picked by hand, softly crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The result is a lively wine with a juicy, creamy finish that combines well with food or simply enjoyed on its own.
A fantastic match to a huge variety of dishes from steak and chips, bangers and mash, a Sunday roast, beef stir-fry or fresh summer salads.
