Idiom Rosso di Stellenbosch 2017
R121.00
A lively, medium-bodied red wine with notes of perfumed prosciutto and ripe red cherries. Delicate oaking in used barrels contributes to both fruity and savoury notes continuing on the palate. A delicious drinking wine with good acidity and plenty of potential. A perfect match for antipasto or Italian style meat and pasta dishes.
