Blaauwklippen Vineyard Selection Zinfandel 2006

Blaauwklippen's wine entices with dark chocolate and stoved pear aromas against a slightly peppery backdrop. The palate delivers a medley of intense dried-fruit flavours, for which this cultivar is well known.

Spicy dishes, game dishes and rich sauces. Serve at 17° C.
