Tasting Note

This wine is deep ruby in colour. On the nose, aromas of clove and subtle white pepper mingle with juicy blackberry and plum fruit. Full-bodied and rich, the palate displays well-integrated oak and smooth, structured tannins. Chakalaka, a Zulu word that implies togetherness, refers to a South African blend of spices, used to add flavour to local dishes. This wine is inspired by the unique combination of flavours.

Product Notes

Spice Route Chakalaka wine hails from South Africa's vibrant Western Cape. Its charmingly blended with red varietals like Syrah, Carignan and Mourvedre, yielding a rustic, robust red wine that lingers on your palate. Presenting an intense, deep ruby hue, the wine boasts delightful hints of blackberries, plum, white pepper and smoked oak. The Chakalaka also offers a well-balanced acidity with superbly soft tannins. It's ideally enjoyed with meaty pizzas, spicy dishes or on its own. The wine's name is inspired by the spicy South African relish, representing its dynamic, rich and delightfully bold character. It's a quality vintage for any discerning wine enthusiast.
