KWV Classic Collection Cape Tawny Dessert Wine NV

Western Cape, South AfricaKWV has always been a prominent South African wine company producing an even more extensive selection of table wines, fortified wines, brandies, and other alcoholic beverages from the Paarl region of South Africa. My first visit over three decades ago revealed a highly polished fortified wine business, still thriving today. This Tawny is a blend of obviously thriving Portuguese grape varieties tinta barocca, cinsault, and souzào, that get the classic extended wood maturation. In the glass, the amber juice is scented with dates and toffee mixed with candied apricots and oranges. The finish is long, warm, and sweet. It is best served with a slight chill. It's a real bargain if you are a Tawny sipper.Tasted: 03 November 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
