Donkiesbaai Suiderkruis Rooiwijn 750ml

Donkiesbaai Suiderkruis Rooiwijn is a distinctive red blend from the renowned Donkiesbaai brand. This 750ml bottle offers a glimpse into the unique West Coast terroir of South Africa. The name translates to “Southern Cross Red Wine.” It is crafted by winemaker Jean-Mari Bruwer. He created this wine to be richly structured yet elegantly balanced. The grapes come from the cool-climate, coastal vineyards. This proximity to the Atlantic Ocean imparts a unique saline minerality to the blend. This versatile wine is a fantastic partner for food.

• Tim Atkin MW: Vintages often score in the 93-94 point range.
• Reviewer Praise: Critics note its “salty, dark fruit character” and excellent structure.

The colour is a deep, inviting ruby red. The nose reveals dark cherry, cedar, and dried herbs. A lovely salty minerality is also evident. The palate is firmly structured and dry. Donkiesbaai Suiderkruis Rooiwijn features red and black fruit flavours. Integrated tannins lead to a long, savoury finish.
