Idiom ‘R’ – Rodanico Blend 2020
R450.00
A medium-bodied blend of Shiraz, Mourv??dre and Viognier. Aromas of vibrant red cherry, violets and granite dominate the nose. Lively, tantalising flavours of dark plum and white pepper dance on the palate. Smooth, velvety tannins and a long, lingering fresh finish make for an elegant wine. Serve with wild boar or other venison dishes for a special pairing.
78% Shiraz, 19% Mourvèdre and 3% Viognier.
