TOURIGA NACIONAL IN SOUTH AFRICA

More than a century old, this historic fourth-generation-owned Stellenbosch wine estate is one of the first families of Cape wine, and boasts a laudable reputation as ‘leader of the pack’ as well as being the first South African estate to bottle a varietal Merlot. A fruit driven wine with aromas and flavours of plums, mulberries, rich ripe raspberries and spice Succulent full and round on the palate with fine tannins that offer a pleasant grip on the finish complimenting the lengthy fruit driven aftertaste Will benefit by ageing up to five years, but is drinking well now Food suggestions: Bobotie (traditional South African curried mince dish), rump steak with robust sauce, grilled rack of pork, spare ribs, hearty stews, grilled vegetables and rich matured cheeses
