Gabriëlskloof `The Blend` from Walker Bay, South Africa, is a captivating still red wine (rouge) that is dry and full-bodied. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec was hand-picked, destemmed, and fermented with indigenous yeasts in old French oak barriques, then aged for 18 months. It displays intense black fruit aromatics complemented by cured meat, leather notes, and savoury wet earth, with a hint of floral elegance. The palate offers pure flavours of ripe mulberry, cassis, and liquorice, enhanced by gentle clove and star anise spice, with finely integrated tannins. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or mature cheeses. It is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
