Wines Boberg Vineyard Gable & Grace - 2018 - 2018

Viniou Reviews

Gable & Grace’s 2018 Cuvée from the Boberg vineyard in South Africa's Coastal Region is a notable red wine that reflects the distinctive characteristics of its terroir. Though the specific blend isn't detailed, South African reds often feature varietals like Pinotage, Shiraz, or Cabernet Sauvignon, which contribute to a robust and complex profile. The Coastal Region benefits from a Mediterranean climate with cool breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, ideal for producing balanced wines with ripe fruit and elegant tannins. Gable & Grace, known for its dedication to quality winemaking, has a reputation for crafting wines that reflect the diversity and richness of the South African terroir.

For food pairings, this red wine could complement a hearty lamb stew or a grilled steak, enhancing the wine's rich flavours while providing a delightful match to the robust tannins. Additionally, traditional South African dishes like bobotie or braai (a type of barbecue) could offer a unique pairing, accentuating the wine’s complexities and providing a taste of the region’s culinary richness.

To fully enjoy Gable & Grace's 2018 Cuvée, serve it at an ideal temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting the wine for about 30 minutes can help open up its aromas and soften the tannins. Begin your tasting by observing the wine's deep colour and swirling it gently in the glass to release its bouquet. Inhale deeply to appreciate its aromas before taking a sip and allowing the layers of flavour to unfold across your palate.
