About this deal

The Secretary Bird, a name deriving from the quill like feathers from the crest, is a familiar sight in the open gresslands of the Western Cape and one of South Africa's most treasured national birds. The long finish and concentrated cranberry theme will force you to keep on looking back at the label to remind yourself that this is actually a venerable old Cinsault! While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it to be accurate, it is not a substitute for reading the product packaging and label prior to use.

Just the thing to enjoy with a smoked haddock kedgeree or a fresh goat's cheese tart and a green salad. Palate: Ripe, juicy pineapple, soft coconut flesh, vanilla, cinnamon and spicy gingerbread, with a silky mouthfeel and the smoothness of aged rum.

A bewildering drop that parades all the style characteristics of a Pinot Noir - but what an utterly rewarding confusion it is!

Handpicked grapes, from the foothills of regions east of the Andes, are perfectly ripened, giving the wine.
