Vriesenhof Grenache 2013

Beautiful fruitful aromas of raspberry and blackberry with an undercurrent of oak. Rich flavours of raspberry, strawberry and vanilla are overlaid with cinnamon and white pepper on the mid palate with a finish of smoky leather and dried peach.

For food pairing it works well with pork belly and lamb. Both savoury and sweet elements can be used in the food.
