Rich and intense yet fresh, it finishes regally and perfectly dry. Ready to drink now, this wine has great ageing potential for up to at least 10 years from harvest.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a wine made to last and improve with age. An elegant Semillon, it\u2019s extremely versatile and can be paired with a variety of dishes \u2013 delicious with biryani, chicken curry, roast pork, seafood, shellfish, roast chicken and paella. At R450 a bottle, it\u2019s obviously for very special occasions.
