Description
The Rothschild Classique is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. It is a popular wine in South Africa and has a red fruit core with soft-textured tannins. It is paired with an oak-smoked duck breast, roasted baby beetroots, beetroot puree, crispy Jerusalem artichokes, and a roasted cherry jus.
True to the partnership between the Rupert & Rothschild families, this classic Bordeaux-styled blend combines the best of Cape and French tradition in one of South Africa's most popular red blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
Aromas of red plum, raspberries and cherries are prominent, layered with forest floor and oak spice expressed as toasted caramel and walnut. The palate has a fresh red fruit core with soft-textured tannins and good persistence. Pair this delicious wine with an oak-smoked duck breast, roasted baby beetroots, beetroot puree, crispy Jerusalem artichokes, and a roasted cherry jus. The earthiness of both the artichokes and the beetroots, complimented by the jus will round off this wine beautifully.
