Cape Mentelle Wallcliffe Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec 2017 (12 Bottles)

Marketplace Product - Please allow up to 3 - 5 days for dispatch.

APPEARANCE: Deep dark, black cherry red with garnet edges.

NOSE: The aromatics are dark and brooding; intense mulberry fruit, black plum and fresh violet are met with forest bramble, tobacco and hints of smoked ground spices. Finer nuances of mocha, roasted charred fig, wild anise and dark earth meld with dried herbal notes and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg.

PALATE: The palate is tightly wound with mocha and dusty red berry fruit, anise and fresh wild floral elements which overlay a densely packed yet finely structured palate, with a myriad of spice and delicate herbal notes. This well balanced and seamless wine displays wonderful savoury notes of cedar and red earth fanning out to a supple and silky texture of long dark chocolate.

FOOD PAIRING: We suggest matching it with a rich vegetarian minestrone with grated parmesan and garlic croutons. The richness of a bone-in rib eye with a peppercorn and mushroom sauce or a slow roasted venison fillet covered in Mexican mole sauce with baked beetroot elevates the smoked spice complexity in this wine.
