South Africa is home to some exceptional wine. Now becoming more popular in our market, this blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied wine with flavours of blackberry, plum, pepper and spice.
Pair it with grilled beef, grilled sausages or hamburgers.
Cabernet from Argentina is becoming very popular, in fact it’s challenging Malbec. The high elevation allows Cabernet to develop complex flavours while keeping the freshness. This wine has flavours of blackberry, cassis, blackcurrant and hints of vanilla and toast.
Pair it with lamb, beef or pork dishes.
Do you like Pinot Noir? Do you like Barolo? If you do, then Nerello Mascalese may be for you. With the red fruit and elegance of Pinot Noir and the tannin structure of Nebbiolo, this wine is a power lifter wrapped in velvet.
Pair it with pizza, pastas with red sauce and with hard cheese.
This ancient mountain is producing some exciting wine. A Sangiovese dominant wine, with some Cabernet and Merlot to round out and soften the texture.
Pair it with pizza or other tomato-based dishes.
A classic blend of southern French grapes in Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, this wine is a fruit bomb, with lots of juicy red and black fruit flavours and aromas. A true crowd pleaser with bright aromatics.
Pair it with hearty dishes like beef bourguignon, duck a l’orange or rack of lamb.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted black grape in Chile. Here, with a wine industry heavily influenced by French tradition, there is a lot of elegance and lift to the fuller bodied Cabernet. Blackberry, violet, baking spice and vanilla lend flavours.
Pair it with striploin and peppercorn sauce, hamburgers or pizza with tomato sauces.
