Hermanuspietersfontein
Hermanuspietersfontein is a Walker Bay producer with one of South Africa’s most distinctive wine identities, from its long Afrikaans name to its playful, Afrikaans-only wine labels. Behind the laid-back personality is a serious focus on cool-climate wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Bordeaux-style blends and regional favourites from the Hermanus area.
Description
Aroma: Dark fruit such as cassis and plums; savoury notes of pencil shavings; dried herbs (oregano and rosemary). Palate: Generous offering of tannin density and fruit intensity; seamless and supple, yet full of persistence and length; sweet herbal spice (rosemary, thyme, mint) providing freshness on palate.
Food Pairing
Bordeaux blends are best served with rich foods. Picture succulent steaks with creamy black pepper sauce and succulent crispy duck with mushrooms. Alternatively pair this bland with sharp hard cheeses such as a well matured white cheddar.
