This wine pairs beautifully with big bold meaty dishes. It will also compliment delicious, flavoursome meals such as duck and ostrich. A great match with pasta al pomodoro and a rocket & basil salad.

18 months in French oak barrels with 25% being in new oak, 15% in second fill, 30% in third fill and 30% in fourth fill barrels.
