Very popular at braais, this colourful versatile relish is commonly served with meat and starches.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u2019re preferring our Chakalaka in this newly released 2019 Spice Route Chakalaka &#8230; the Spice Route\u2019s signature Rh\u00f4ne-style red blend of six classic Rh\u00f4ne varieties selected for their ability to harmoniously express the unique terroir of the Swartland. Rich and robust and velvety, all ripe juicy black currant, cherry and plum notes, with white pepper, spiced meats, smoky cloves, nutmeg and vanilla complementing the wine\u2019s bold fruit character, this wine is full-bodied, intense, silky and smooth &#8230; and is a fantastic food wine.<\/p>\n<p>Equally at home in a fine dining restaurant as at home around the fire &#8230; it\u2019s lovely curry, bobotie, braaied spicy meat and is a perfect complement to a charcuterie board, which is our favourite way of entertaining.
