tasting notes
"Le Bistro" is our range of classy, yet unpretentious wines, modern in their fruit-rich appeal, timeless in their understated elegance, the hallmark of all Zandvliet wines. This range tempts with its accessibility and anytime enjoyment, not only in style and value, but also with its quick-and-easy screwcap closures. Wines to enjoy as aperitifs or with good food as you would in any fine Bistro.

Colour: Deep ruby red
Nose: Lovely ripe red fruit with a hint of spiciness. Subtle oak and good grape integration.
Palate: The nose follows through in a ripe, full, yet refined way. Very good mouth fill with a lingering after palate from ripe grape tannins.
 
ageing potential
Drink now or keep till 2014.
