Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure, while Shiraz adds ripe fruit and spice; the acidity keeps it lively. We chose it because it offers a versatile South African blend, suitable for casual dining and for those looking for a soft but not flat red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWine Profile\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entry is juicy, with ripe red berries and dark cherry. Raspberry, a hint of cola, and vanilla emerge in the mid-palate. The body is medium, with lively acidity and soft tannins. The finish is round, fruity, and clean, with a slight spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe winery's signature\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter gentle destemming, the grapes are selected and transferred to fermentation vessels. Skin contact lasts 7-10 days, followed by soft pressing. Most of the wine ages in stainless steel with quality French oak staves; a smaller portion ages in old French barriques. The total aging lasts 10-12 months before blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood pairings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs well with devil's pizza, hamburgers, beef carpaccio, and barbecue. In Italian cuisine, it is suitable for pasta with ragù, meatballs in sauce, and lasagna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eServing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe at 15-18 °C. Does not require decanting; a few minutes in the glass are sufficient.
