NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Klein Constantia Estate Red is a delightful Bordeaux blend.It has aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and leather, with hints of spice and cedar. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, with flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, and a hint of pepper. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant note of oak. This is an elegant and sophisticated red that pairs well with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, and sharp cheeses.

Region: Western Cape

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.
