An easy-drinking Wolftrap Red, light Rhone-style red blend. A blend of Shiraz, with added Mourvédre and Viognier, gives this wine a concentrated red colour with a touch of purple. Fruity aromas on the nose of black fruits and black and red berries. The palate is smooth with a further fruitiness present, expressed as cherries and wild strawberries.
The Wolftrap Red is a French oak-matured and well-balanced spicy red that offers an accessible taste of the Swartland terroir.
