Idiom ‘C’ – Cape Blend 2021
R450.00
A velvety, opulent wine made with the Cape’s own grape, Pinotage, blended with noble varieties. Rich and intriguing aromas and flavours with exploding layers of red fruits with notes of ripe plums, red velvet cake and tobacco. Soft tannins, balance and complexity are hallmarks of this uniquely South African. Fantastic with signature steakhouse cuts or Malay curries.
Pinotage (34%), Cabernet Sauvignon (32%), Merlot (17%), Cabernet Franc (17%)
