Veenwouden 2002 Classic Red (Paarl)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $45

This wine does have a ¨Classic¨ Bordeaux nose of cassis, forest floor, chocolate and cedar, but from there on out it´s all South African innovation.

Veenwouden 1998 Classic Red (Paarl)

Price $37

Veenwouden 1998 Merlot (Paarl)

Price $37

Online Exclusive

Price $45

Inviting aromas of cracked pepper, dried fennel, spiced meat and berry give this elegant Merlot from Paarl instant character.

Still a spin of heat in the wine; consider holding for a few years. — S.K. (11/15/2008)
