<p>Arno Smith Kromtak (Crooked Branch) Grenache Noir </p><p>Medium- to full-bodied, beautiful vibrant red hue. If you’re testing your palate with a blind tasting, the telltale signs of grenache are the candied fruit roll-up and cinnamon flavour.This Grenache Noir boasts with intense fruity notes on the nose, complimented by prominent herbs and spices we learned to love in a beautiful red wine.</p><p>Tasting Note</p><p>With strawberries, black cherries and raspberry flavours dominating at first, one will also note that hint of spice at the back of the palate. The Grenache Noir boasts well-balanced and accessible supple tannins.When it’s fuller in body, the deeper fruit notes are more pronounced but when it’s lighter, expect more of those high-toned notes like strawberry and currant.</p><p>Food Pairing</p><p>Grenache is very versatile and food friendly, that is why most prefer this as a chilled summer wine. Therefore, when we talk about pairing food with grenache, it’s all about what dishes will complement the spice in the wine.</p><p>Turkey is a winner, as are other game meats such as duck. If you’re pescatarian, opt for a meaty style of fish such as a tuna steak. Don’t be afraid to bring out the grenache at a braai (barbecue) either, as it goes well with a grill. Alcohol is a solvent to capsaicin, which is the heat unit in spicy foods. A lighter-alcohol Grenache served slightly chilled can help reduce the burn of spicy food.</p>
