The Eikehof Cape Ruby from the established Eikehof wine estate in Franschhoek is a full-bodied Cape Ruby with a strong character, made in the traditional "port style". After fermentation, the wine was fortified to 18% alcohol, retaining some of its natural residual sugar and retaining its harmonious sweetness.

In the glass, it has a deep, dark ruby red hue, while rich aromas of red and black berries, fine oak and subtle spice blend together on the palate. The well-balanced structure and velvety texture make this Cape Ruby a special treat, which comes into its own as a digestif or with desserts.

Enjoy the Eikehof Cape Ruby slightly chilled at 14-16 °C with chocolate desserts, mature cheese, nuts or simply as an elegant end to an enjoyable evening.
