Stellenbosch Vineyards Heyden's Red 2011

Deep, dark red colour. This classical blend expresses a palate which is well structured and have well integrated oak-derived aromas, complementing layers of fruit flavours such as blackcurrant, cassis, plum and ripe berry fruit. Very elegant and well structured with fine, firm tannins and a good lengthy finish.

Enjoy on its own, or served with roast beef or rack of lamb. Suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.
