South African wine specialist and Master of Wine Richard Kelley sourced this Cape blend from Glen Carlou. It does exactly what is says on the can – sweet milk chocolate and vanilla, plus concentrated blackberry and raspberry jam. It’s no gimmick though; there’s enough ripe tannins to stand up to rump steak too.
