A blend of 59% Mourvèdre, 22% Cinsault and 19% Shiraz, this opens with faint aromas of peach, melon and lemon peel. The palate is soft and slightly warm, with pithy, bitter cherry-skin and melon-rind flavors that remain through the finish.
A beautiful deep ruby, the Protea Red immediately shows aromatic notes of blackberry, espresso and spice. On the palate the wine is full and juicy. Balancing ripe fruit and subtle tannins, the blend is a versatile choice for food pairings.
