Its color is intense violet tone and its aroma, dark cherry and plum with notes of white pepper. Presents good body density and is juicy. The flavor is dark fruit, as ripe blackberry, continues on the palate in its texture of elegant softness.

Perfect match:

Barossa Valley é responsável por elaborar um estilo de Shiraz dos mais singulares do mundo do vinho. A riqueza de aromas e sabores é destacada pelo chocolate e pelas especiarias, revelando em boca a sua personalidade forte e o corpo de maciez inebriante.

Comentário do Sommelier:
Sua cor tem tom violeta intenso e seu aroma, ameixa e cereja escuras, com notas de pimenta branca. Apresenta corpo de boa densidade e é suculento. O sabor é de frutas escuras, como a amora madura, se prolonga no paladar em meio à sua textura de elegante maciez.

Cabernet-Shiraz is the classic assemblage . While the cabernet sauvignon provides structure and a soft tannin finish, the shiraz adds silky texture on the palate. This wine is the clear expression of elegance and perfect Union between two varieties.

It features intense ruby colour, aroma of ripe plum and currant, with subtle notes of aromar and cedar. In the mouth has good density, velvety texture and flavor of wild fruit and anise.

A tinta mais nobre do mundo também é muito cultivada na África do Sul. Como seu ciclo vegetativo é tardio, ela se adaptou bem ao clima mediterrâneo do pais, já que prefere os dias de calor aos frios. A Cabernet Sauvignon é uma casta que interage bem com o carvalho, este exemplar sul-africano amadureceu durante 14 meses em barricas francesas e americanas.
Comentário do Sommelier:
Vermelho profundo com intenso reflexo violeta. Aroma de frutas vermelhas maduras com um toque de baunilha e chocolate. Em boca apresenta bom volume e corpo redondo com taninos persistentes.
Par perfeito:

The world's most noble red grape is also very cultivated in South Africa. As its vegetative cycle is late, she has adapted well to the country’s Mediterranean weather, as it prefers heat to cold days. The Cabernet Sauvignon is a grape variety that interacts well with oak, this South African wine matured for 14 months in French and American oak barrels.
Sommelier's comment:
Deep red with intense violet hue. Aroma of ripe red fruits with a touch of vanilla and chocolate. In the mouth has good volume and round body with persistent tannins.
Perfect Pair:
Fillet the Osvaldo Aranha (Fillet of Osvaldo Aranha is a dish typical of Rio de Janeiro, honoring the political gaucho Osvaldo Aranha. Consists of a filet mignon or a counter top fillet, seasoned with fried garlic, accompanied by Portuguese potatoes, white rice and manioc eggs).

Originária da África do Sul, a Pinotage surgiu em 1992 a partir do cruzamento da Pinot Noir com a Hermitage, tornando-se então a uva emblemática do país. Aqui, ela compõe o assemblage com a Shiraz, uma das variedades mais antigas, que conquistou espaço devido a sua fácil adaptação e características marcantes, como sua robustez e notas de especiarias.
Comentário do Sommelier:
Aroma de frutas vermelhas maduras com um elegante defumado, notas de baunilha, caça e um toque de chocolate. Os 14 meses em barricas de carvalho francês e americano lhe conferem corpo, acidez e taninos marcantes.

Originally from South Africa, the Pinotage was created in 1992 by crossing the Pinot Noir with Hermitage thus becoming the emblematic grape country. Here, she makes up the assemblage with Shiraz, one of the older varieties, which conquered space due to its easy adaptation and striking features, such as its robustness and spice notes.
Comment Sommelier:
Aroma of ripe red fruit with an elegant smoked vanilla notes, hunting and a touch of chocolate. The 14 months in barrels of French and American oak give it body, acidity and tannins striking.
Perfect Pair:
Ostrich medallions with mashed potatoes.
