Dorrance - Rouge

In 2022, Dorrance Wines from Swartland, South Africa, crafted this remarkable red wine. The winery's story began in 1995 when Cristophe Durand, a Frenchman, moved to Cape Town to supply French wine barrels. Soon after his arrival, his passion shifted to winemaking, and Dorrance Wines was established, releasing its first wine in 2000. This wine is made entirely from Cinsault, a major French grape variety known for its adaptability to heat. On the palate, it offers delightful notes of violets, spices, and purple fruits. For an authentic French experience, pair it with escargot.

To enjoy this Dorrance Cinsault red wine, first, let it breathe for about 15 - 30 minutes after opening. Pour it into a wine glass and take a moment to appreciate its aroma of violets and spices. When it comes to food pairing, escargot is a classic choice, but it also goes well with other light - meat dishes or cheeses. Store the opened bottle in the refrigerator and make sure to seal it tightly. You can enjoy the remaining wine within 2 - 3 days. For unopened bottles, keep them in a cool, dark place with a relatively stable temperature. Avoid exposing the wine to direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes.
