Reward yourself with a Roodeberg winter red wine reunion
09:06:00Winter is red wine season and a good reason to rediscover Roodeberg, South Africa’s iconic red blend that has been bringing friends together since 1949.
The stuff of legends, this full-bodied red is the perfect fire side quaffer. Roodeberg’s rich heritage and colourful tapestry of wine folklore, has seen this classic Cabernet Sauvignon driven red evolve from the master’s original blend to an accessible, contemporary wine in step with changing tastes and lifestyles.
The current 2016 vintage erupts in your glass with aromatic layers or cranberries, spicy dry herbs and fruitcake with whiffs of cinnamon and dark chocolate. The palate is well rounded with nuances of cedar oak supported by juicy tannins that linger long after the last sip.
A true South African original that has stood the test of time, Roodeberg loves hearty winter stews and roasts and is a perfect fit with your favourite meat on the braai. Chef Mynardt Joubert, who knows a thing or two about local food heritage, shares his Kudu burger recipe as the perfect winter taste partner for Roodeberg. Dads will love this as a Father’s Day treat or round up your friends for a Roodeberg winter red wine reunion.
During June and July, Roodeberg is rewarding wine lovers who purchase this trusted red in leading outlets. There’s the Reunion on Réunion grand prize of a 7-day island adventure of a lifetime, as well as 350 fabulous quality wine accessories supplied by Yuppiechef. Look out for the Roodeberg necktag competition and make sure you get your share of Roodeberg rewards this winter.
Chef Mynardt Joubert’s Kudu Burger
“Making homemade
burgers is something that I grew up with and for the most part this is my
mother’s recipe. Making Burgers with Kudu mince works really well, is
affordable and matches perfectly with Roodeberg Red. It is also good to feed the masses and a fun
activity for the whole family to get involved in. Making your own buns or
“Askoeke” is even more fun and gives an incredible taste to the burgers. This recipe is from Aunt Nellie from
Oudtshoorn.”
