Spice Route Swartland Mourvèdre is a compelling expression of this lesser-seen Rhône variety from South Africa’s dynamic Swartland district. It shows intense aromas of dark berries, black cherry and savoury herbs, intertwined with notes of black pepper and subtle floral hints that add complexity. On tasting, the wine reveals a robust yet refined structure, with firm tannins and a layered palate that balances fruit intensity with earthy, leathery depth. Its finish is long and resonant, with lingering spice and a touch of minerality that accentuates its characterful style. This Mourvèdre pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as lamb, game or rich vegetarian fare, making it a standout for those seeking something distinctive and bold.
