Allesverloren
The Allesverloren Fine Old Vintage is one of South Africa’s most
recognised port-style wines and was first produced on the farm in 1806.
Crafted from a blend of Portuguese varietals including Tinta Barocca,
Souzão and Pontac, it has a beautiful nose of honeysuckle and fruit
mince pies with subtle hints of black cherry and sweet spice. If this
does not entice you, the taste of rich praline finished off with
lingering spicy fruit cake and hints of dark chocolate ganache most
definitely will!
“This vintage has particularly excited us, especially with the
concentration of fruit. The grapes used are harvested from vines planted
back in 1954,” says legendary winemaker Danie Malan.
And although it might seem that Spring is hinting, the Allesverloren
Fine Old Vintage is still the perfect companion to those chilly
evenings. You can even surprise your dinner guests by preparing Chef Nic
van Wyk’s South African inspired Portuguese Pasteis de Nata infused
with Rooibos tea and perfectly paired with this wine.
The Allesverloren Fine Old Vintage is available from the farm and retail outlets countrywide – RSP – R120.00
