Idiom Zinfandel 2018

Idiom Zinfandel 2018

R300,00

Silky and spicy. This elegant, medium-bodied expression of Stellenbosch Zinfandel, also known as Primitivo, exhibits a superb power-to-weight ratio. Aromas of candied raspberry and hibiscus dominate the nose. An effortless entry leads to an explosive revolving tray of bay leaf, tobacco leaf and mulberry flavours dancing on the palate. A refreshing wine with an attractive long finish.
