Unpretentious and approachable, this wine pairs well with pizza (even those with pineapple!), pasta (think Tuesday night spaghetti bolognaise or lasagne) or a weekend burger or braai.

TASTING NOTE:

Trustworthy, dependable, and reliable are not words generally applied to wine – but they are all valid for this cabernet sauvignon and shiraz blend. It ticks the boxes of fruit – raspberry, black berries and cherry; structure – subtle firm core of tannin; succulence – fresh and juicy from balanced acidity and finally, the length. The flavours linger but the mouthful finishes dry.
