Stellenbosch Vineyards Heyden's Red 2013

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.

This wine will pair well with most red meats and is an ideal match for roast beef and rack of lamb. Serve at a cool room temperature. Suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.
