4 /5

Vondeling Monsonia (previous vintages were called Erica) is named after Monsonia Speciosa, a species of fynbos (vegetation type occurring in the Western Cape region of South Africa) that is endemic to the Paardeberg mountain, the home of Vondeling. You will get plums, blackcurrant, cinnamon, cloves and cocoa on the nose. This super wine from Vondeling is elegant and balanced on the palate with fine tannins.

Food Matches: Rare roast beef, beef stews, oxtail, pork belly, venison, wild boar.
