CWAR03M - Blushing Afrikaner Rose

Blushing Afrikaner Rose

Name: Red Ox Cape Blend

Vintage Year: 2021

Rating Vivino: Not rated

Type: Red Wine

Grape Type: Red Blend

Tasting Notes: This Shiraz and Pinotage is a meduim bodied wine with a deep purple colour. The nose is reminiscent of plums, which is typical of this unique South African Pinotage, while the palate is rich and spicy with a long finish. Overall, the wine is soft, juicy, and approachable

Pairing: Perfectly paired with a South African braai where it will take almost anything in its stride from marinated lamb to Cape Malay or Cajun-spiced ‘blackened’ fish. It’s also good with venison burgers and sausages or - come the winter - a hearty game pie

Western Dish : Smoky Texas BBQ beef rib
Asian Dish : Slow braised pork belly with soy, garlic and ginger
