Drostdy Hof Claret Sweet 3L

The grapes for this blend include varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage and Tinta Barocca, among others, chosen from well-drained soils under coastal winds that naturally stress the vines for better flavour retention.
In the cellar, the juice undergoes skin contact for colour extraction followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures. For the smoother sweet variant, fermentation is arrested slightly earlier to retain natural grape sugars and deliver that soft sweetness on the palate.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Deep ruby-red, inviting and bright.
• Bouquet: A warm aroma of ripe strawberries, mulberries and sweet cherry, with hints of dark red berries and subtle oak warmth.
• Palate: Plush, fruit-driven and smooth. The sweetness comes through balanced with gentle acidity and soft tannins. Flavours of ripe raspberry, blackberry compote and a hint of spice lead into a mellow, lingering finish.
• Finish: Smooth and satisfying, offering moderate length, making it infinitely drinkable.

Food Pairing

This wine partners beautifully with a wide range of dishes. It’s a match for BBQ ribs, red-meat burgers, mild lamb chops or even mushroom pasta. It also pairs well with lightly spiced dishes or semi-hard cheeses making it a versatile choice for sociable meals or casual nights in.
