Platter’s ****
Pretty & intricate, like eponymous music, 2020 svelte & lacy, with velvet red berry fruit. Equal shiraz & tempranillo, 20% grenache noir.

Name
In the 18th century the Rococo period represented a time when the style of architecture, visual and decorative arts was light and elegant. Its musical counterpart was the gallant style with an emphasis on pleasantness and prettiness. In similar fashion the Wind Band Rococo Red is a pleasant and charming red wine with loads of fruit, but easy drinking enough to enjoy every day of the week.

Winemaking
Grapes were handpicked and cold soaked for 24 hours. Fermentation is initiated with selected yeast strains and is kept under 26°C. Malolactic fermentation is completed in tank, 80% of the wine is matured for 12 months in old 300 litre French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes
A medium bodied red wine packed with juicy ripe plums and black cherries on the nose, as well as spice and freshly cracked black pepper. There is subtle, well balanced toasty oak on the palate, supported by refined tannins and a lingering finish. Enjoy with beef steak, lamb shwarma, ribs, spicy sausages and venison.
