Franschhoek Cellar
Franschhoek Cellar was originally the co-operative wine producer for a community of grape farmers in the magnificent Franschhoek valley. Today we are a pillar of the community operating as a private cellar delivering fantastic quality wines with a distinctive personality and character that emulates the grace and charm of our French Huguenot heritage.
Description
Deep ruby‑garnet in colour, this Bordeaux‑style blend opens with a lush, polished bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, plum, and mulberry, layered with cedar wood, cigar box, pencil lead, and subtle fynbos spice. The full-bodied palate is elegant yet powerful: ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate are supported by firm, fine-grained tannins, espresso, clove, and leather nuances, finishing long with integrated dark fruit and lingering warming spice.
Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled or roasted meats—think lamb chops, ribeye steak, venison stews—or aged hard cheeses and mushroom-based dishes. Pairs beautifully with hearty vegetarian options like mushroom bourguignon.
