Roodeberg 1949

Roodeberg 1949

A wine from the Western Cape, medium-bodied wine with a red ruby colour. Fresh and vibrant with layers of summer berry flavours complemented by hints of chocolate and spicy vanilla oak. Roodeberg is the result of skillful blending of red grape varieties and slow maturation in oak casks.

This deep, ruby-colored, concentrated red blend shows prominent aromas of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and dried herbs. On the palate Cinnamon, sweet
spice and ripe, juicy dark fruit together with a firm tannin structure, ensures good length and an enduring finish.

Maturation:

The wine was matured for 18 months in barrels, 70% new French oak.

Serving suggestion:

This wine can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of flavourful meat dishes.

Roodeberg, the true South African original that celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, has taken its narrative back to the heart of the country’s winemaking roots with the launch of ‘1949’, a meticulously crafted, limited edition commemorative blend.

Continuing the Roodeberg tradition as a blend with universal appeal, Roodeberg 1949 lends new vitality through the added intrigue and dimension of exciting contemporary varieties from sought-after vineyard sites, starting a new chapter in the illustrious Roodeberg story.
