Roodekrantz Wines
We believe wines are made in the vineyard. Careful vineyard selection is therefore key to our results. Very close relationships with growers ensure sustainable vineyard practices and deliver consistent quality in the bottle. The role of the viticulturist is to guide our growers to produce the best possible quality fruit. In the ideal world the role of our winemaking team is to capture the essence of the fruit in the bottle. We do not believe in heavily wooded wines and use of “New Oak”. For us a barrel is largely a very practically designed vessel to facilitate the development of the intrinsic qualities of the grapes. So, it is all about the grape. We have access to some of the finest certified old vineyard blocks (older than 35 years) in the Industry. This segment of our business is becoming particularly interesting and we strive to keep these vineyards in the ground.
Description
The wine has a deen and intense rubv-red colour Classic varietal aromas of dark cherries, black and red fruits, dried herbs and a hint or dark chocolate dominate the nose. The palate Is rich with firm tannins, and sultry dark fruit flavours on the dry finish.
Food Pairing
The wine's bold structure is a perfect match for cuts of meat with equally bold textures, like beef rump, -sirloin or -fillet steak. Its rich flavours will align with hearty dishes like oxtail or braised lamb stew. Serve after dinner with rich and decadent chocolate deserts or aged, hard cheese.
