Valentine’s Pick of the Week
Thursday, February 8th, 2007
From award-winning Spier comes a delicious profusion of candy, strawberry and lingering berries produced from handpicked pinotage grapes. Retailing for R20 a bottle, Spier Discover Rose is an affordable indulgence for romantic engagements on Valentine’s Day… or for simply celebrating your single-diva-hood!
Pair the wine with cold soup or chicken and serve well chilled with hot romance and evening picnic on 14 Feb… or spoil your love (or yourself) with a gift of this wine with delectable chocolates. For the more daring divas it could be presented with a fun serving of body-chocolate!
Some Tasting Hints:
Wine of origin Western Cape.
14,11% alcohol.
An attractive, deep pink wine that’s well-structured, fruit-driven and ready to enjoy now. The nose rewards with hints of strawberry and candy, leading to full, ripe berry flavours that linger pleasantly on the after-palate.
Enjoy now, on 14 Feb or within 2 years of harvest.
