Erasmus Family Wines Reserve 2024

Tasting Notes:
A Rhône-styled blend of 50% Carignan / 25% Mourvedre / 17% Petite Syrah / 8% Grenache Noir. Silky and concentrated, with vibrant red fruit, dark plum and cassis, layered with cranberry and a distinct savoury edge of dried herbs. Black pepper and subtle cedar from 12 months in French oak add depth, complexity and polish. Medium-high acidity and firm yet velvety tannins provide freshness, structure and balance while allowing the fruit to shine.

Food pairing:
The perfect food wine. Can hold up to the intense South African flavours of slow-roasted meat, especially barbecued pork. Even Asian inspired dishes with plum sauce will add to the fruitiness in the wine.
