Neil Ellis Aenigma Red Blend | Western Cape, South Africa
Varietal/Blend: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, with small percentages of Cabernet Franc and Cinsaut
Tasting Notes: A fragrant aromatic profile showcasing both red and dark fruits, with inviting notes of plum and spice complemented by subtle oak nuances. The full-bodied yet perfectly balanced structure features well-integrated tannins that lead to a smooth finish with lingering fruit character.
Body: Full (13.5% ABV)
Food Pairings: A versatile companion for grilled meats, pasta dishes, and casual dining experiences—equally at home at an impromptu weeknight supper or a weekend gathering of friends.
Winemaker Notes: This enigmatic multi-vineyard blend matures for 14 months in second, third, and fourth fill French oak barrels, allowing for elegant oak integration while preserving the wine's fruit purity. Ready to enjoy now but will continue to develop intriguing complexity over the next 3-5 years—rather like a good conversation that reveals new dimensions with time.
