Tasting notes
Bright purple-black wine with garnet coloured rim, while the bouquet abounds with ripe black plum, peach, kirsch, sweet apricots, bramble, piquant spice and hints of fynbos. The palate abounds with ripe apricot, peach, plum and black berry flavours, while the all-spice, wisps of liquorice and sumptuous cocoa after-taste entices the sense. This wine exhibits a deft balance between intense fruit flavours, supple tannins and exuberant spice that make it such a versatile and enjoyable style of Cape fortified wine.
Food pairing
As the name implies…delicious as dessert!
