This Wine Rocks

Wine Around the Corner

I am constantly on the look out for wines under R50 that offer outstanding value and taste so damn good.

It’s a fun quest because you don’t end up breaking the bank and it really is satisfying when you find a bottle that tastes just as good as a ultra premium wine – for a third of the price tag.

So my latest little ‘find’ is the following rocking wine:

Kanu Rockwood 2005

“A nose of dark chocolate and raspberry, complimented by the peppery, nutmeg and cinnamon notes of the Shiraz component. Soft, velvety tannins with lively fruit that ends in a long dry finish.”

I’ve quoted the wine farms description of the wine because it is pretty much spot on. Rockwood is a Shiraz dominant blend and exudes a lot of warmth and rich spiciness that is typical of the varietal.

It’s the perfect wine for the winter months ahead and whats more is you can buy a case of it and share bottles of it over the dinner table with friends! It retails for about R38.

Let me know if you get yourself a bottle and what you think of the wine!
