Idiom Zinfandel 2020
R300.00
A silky and seductive wine. This elegant, medium-bodied expression of Stellenbosch Zinfandel, also known as Primitivo, exhibits a superb power-to-weight ratio. Dried cranberry, pomegranate and tea leaf dominate the nose. An effortless entry leads to an explosive revolving tray of juicy redcurrant and raspberry fruits, further enhanced by balsamic, herbaceous sage and bayleaf notes. A versatile and refreshing wine with an attractive long finish. Enjoy with Karoo lamb, BBQ ribs, sushi and wasabi, or grilled vegetables.
