Deetlefs Familie Red 2011

A dark intense ruby red with scarlet rim. The wine has different layers of fruit, including blackcurrant, cherry and plum as well as a pleasant spicy aroma. Pure fruit is backed up by the balanced oak influence. Good weight on the middle palate with a long lingering aftertaste of intense red berry aromas with hints of mocha and spice. The tannins are still young but soft and round, once again a perfect balance between fruit and oak.

Chicken curry; red meats and heartier vegetable pastas.
