SPICE ROUTE CHAKALAKA 2019

JOHN X MERRIMAN 2020 The John X Merriman is a powerful wine that rewards aging. In its youth, the wine is worth decanting. It expresses cassis, black currant, and dark fruits complemented with cigar tobacco and sour cherry notes. As the wine ages and its fine-grained tannins soften, a softer, savory palate develops, revealing incredible drinkability and tertiary complexity. Blend: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 6%Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec $26.98 $41.99 CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2019 Pleasant aromas of carnation and brambly berry tones are at the heart of this wine's nose. The palate offers more raspberry and mulberry fruit tones, with medium-intense tannins that lend great structure to the ripe fruit flavors, leading to a solid yet clean finish. $18.98 $25.99 CHARDONNAY 2021 Intelligent, compact, white blossom, white citrus, honeysuckle, apple pie, and a hint of fresh mint. Restrained, mineral, and elegant. $18.98 $25.99 SAUVIGNON BLANC 2020 The intrinsic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics of tropical fruits, melon, and gooseberry, with underlying tones of pineapple and passion fruit, sustained on a fresh, crisp, and well-balanced palate with prodigious length. $13.98 $19.99 UNWOODED CHARDONNAY 2022 The omission of oak in this wine creates an elegant Chardonnay with fresh and fruity characteristics. A scent of lemon, mandarin orange, and hints of pine needles are complemented by a crisp, clean finish on the palate. $14.98 $19.99

Chakalaka consists of 6 grape varieties blended to produce a wine expressive of place. Each variety contributes in a different way to create this exciting wine. Silky and smooth with hints of blackcurrant, cherry, and plums. This blend of six varietals truly reflects the terroir of the Swartland. The perfect food wine. It can hold up to slow roasted meat's intense South African flavors, especially barbequed pork. Even Asian-inspired dishes with plum sauce will add to the fruitiness of the wine. Blend: 27% Grenache, 26% Syrah, 22% Mataro, 11% Carignan, 8% Petite Sirah, 6% Tannat $20.98 $26.99
