Last of vintage: Endura Winemaker's Selection Cape Blend 2020
Endura pays tribute to the enduring journey of survival a dryland vine embarks on year after year to produce its best fruit.
Smaller berries and flavour-rich grapes are nature’s way of aligning the dryland vine’s energy levels with challenging external conditions and so ensuring the best possible outcome. The best fruit combination is annually selected to create this limited-release blend.
This Cape Blend is a Pinotage-driven blend with the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec to add to the complexity and balance of the final product. Fermentation took place in small stainless-steel tanks for seven days with regular pump-overs for fermenting to extract the flavour, colour and structure from the skins. After pressing, the wine was transferred to 500-litre French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and further ageing for eighteen months. Only the best barrels were selected and blended to create a harmony of flavours and balance in the wine.
Tasting note: Dark red in colour with dark berries, blackcurrant, red fruit, hints of cocoa and dried tobacco leaves flavours on the nose. On the palate, blueberries, cherries and a hint of vanilla sings harmoniously with a well-structured palate and a long smooth finish.
Food pairing: This wine pairs well with rich dishes such as Cape Malay curry, red meat and wild game.

Recipe: Baked gnocchi with mushrooms, spinach and mature gouda
This creamy casserole is oozing with umami – a decadent mixture of melted nutty mature gouda, shitake mushrooms, baby spinach, pillowy gnocchi, herbs and cream with a hint of smoked paprika. It is a heavenly bowl of meat-free comfort food any day of the week, but can also serve as a posh vegetarian side dish at your next braai.
It pairs beautifully with the Perdeberg Endura Cape Blend 2020 – a smooth and elegant vegan red wine that stands up well to rich dishes.
