Brampton Estate, Roxton, 2018, South Africa

I visited Brampton vineyard many years ago and found it to have excellent wines and port. This red blend is no exception for me it’s a crackling red wine. Dry, with solid body and tannins and good length this has flavours of red and black fruits, leather, oak, vanilla and hints of chocolate and tobacco.

The down side is the price at £17 a bottle, not outrageous but not your everyday wine.
