Idiom Rosso di Stellenbosch 2019

Idiom Rosso di Stellenbosch 2019

R150,00

n A lively, medium-bodied red wine with notes of red cherries and raspberries. Delicate oaking in 2nd fill and older barrels contributes to both fruity and savoury notes continuing on the palate. A beautiful, aromatic expression of this cultivar with good acidity and plenty of potential.
