WINE DESCRIPTION

Mosaic is an juicy red wine produced by Indaba Wines in South Africa. It is made from a blend of Bordeaux varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, sourced from various vineyards in the Western Cape region. The wine is named after the mosaic-like diversity of the vineyards, which contribute to its unique character. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, fermentation in concrete and stainless steel, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's characteristics. The result is a medium to full bodied red with notes of dark fruit, cocoa, and a hint of spice. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a great choice for any occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This South African Bordeaux blend entices with a vibrant array of flavors.Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and subtle hints of spice lead to a medium to full bodied palate that mirrors the nose. Silky tannins and judicious oak integration lend structure, culminating in a smooth, satisfying finish. Pair this versatile wine with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, or portobello mushroom burgers. This wine can be enjoyed upon release and up to 4 years.

The Western Cape is a province of South Africa located in the south-western corner of the country. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Eastern Cape to the east, and the Northern Cape to the north. The Western Cape is home to some of the world's most renowned wine regions, making it a paradise for wine lovers. The Western Cape has a long and rich history of winemaking. The first vines were planted in the region in 1655 by Dutch settlers, and the first commercial winery was established in 1685. Since then, the region has become one of the most important wine-producing regions in South Africa.
