Idiom ‘R’ – Rodanico Blend 2018
R450.00
A medium to full-bodied blend of Shiraz, Mourvedre and Viognier. Aromas of musk, lavender and granite. Tantalizing flavours of savoury plums and white pepper dance on the palate. Smooth velvety tannins and a long rich finish make for an elegant wine with real promise.
74% Shiraz, 23% Mourvèdre and 3% Viognier.
