Vriesenhof
Vriesenhof has a history dating back to the early eighteen century where its south facing slopes are perfectly positioned to produce wines of a fine character. The estate has plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot Pinotage and small block of Pinot Noir. You’ll find it between the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains amidst the Paradyskloof Valley. Three ranges of superb wines are produced including the labels of Vriesenhof Talana Hill and Paradyskloof. Jan Boland Coetzee is the wine maker of the estate and he has ensured that the position of each variety is planted in the ideal position.
Description
Deeply coloured, suggesting good extraction and concentration of flavour. Cocoa, strawberry and exotic spice aromas are matched by a palate rich in flavour and fine, chalky tannins. Bright acidity provides refreshing length, and ensures a light, focused finish.
Food Pairing
Pork belly and lamb. Both savoury and sweet elements can be used in the food.
