Roodeberg Reserve 2017—the perfect winter companion

The KWV Roodeberg Reserve 2017 is the latest release from the legendary South African brand.  

“The glass of the precious liquid that is like a hug from home,” was previously only available in selected international markets, but can now be enjoyed by local wine lovers too. 

The layered, sophisticated, and full-bodied blend is best paired with hearty winter dishes such as meaty casseroles, roasts and game dishes. It is also perfect for comforting warm winter desserts such as foodie Elmarie Berry’s spicy pumpkin donuts drizzled in dark chocolate.
