4 /5

Perfekt för kvällar av kärlek.
Ett bra mellanlagrat vin med körsbärsfärg. Starka dofter av bär. Vet inte varför du var tvungen att veta.
Det gick bra med grillat lamm.

Não combinava com o peixe. Um vinho tinto especial, para alguém igualmente especial.
A orla tinha uma cor quase castanha. Cheira muito a carvalho. Um grande tinto.

Rike aromaer av bjørnebær i denne Carignan. Ettersmaken er litt salt på slutten.
Denne rødevin fra Swartland pleier jeg å anbefale.

4/5

The wine was fine, but we paired it wrongly. A red to drink with that special person.
It has a very nice colour. Nuts presence on the nose. The best aftertaste of Paarl.

4/5

At sight has a very strong cherry colour. Good smoked and toasted aromas. The Spice Route Chakalaka is a well bodied wine .
We enjoyed it in a barbecue.
Perfect with friends.
