Morgenster
Under the foothills of the majestic Helderberg Mountain in Somerset West, lies Morgenster Estate. Home to award-winning Bordeaux-style wines, small pockets of Italian varieties, and extra virgin olive oils. A pioneering South African estate meticulously cultivated by our Italian father, grandfather and founder, Giulio Bertrand. Where African soil meets Italian flair. His vigour and passion have inspired us to keep innovating with renewed energy and to push Morgenster into a brand-new era of excellence. Sustainably-focused, world-class, remarkable wines and extra-virgin olive oils. Our Estate, it’s part of us. The Bertrand Family
Description
Colour: A sparkling bright red with a see through garnet heart, lighter towards the edges. Nose: In line with the best Nebbiolo wines in the world, this nose is intriguingly different from the typical. It promotes spice and flavors of the earth rather than flouting fruit sweetness. There is a herbaceous intensity of lilac, thyme, lavender and basil flower and a spicy sweetness of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Palate: The flavours are complex, lingering and enticing, put together with sweet strawberry, pomegranate and a cherry acidity zing. Tannins abound and form the tactile aspect to a thought provoking experience
Food Pairing
Fragrantly superb on its own, this wine also pairs well with food like a prime cut of beef accompanied by a rich sauce. It complements mature cheeses, dark cacao chocolate and something sweet
