Eikendal Charisma

The Eikendal Charisma is an expressive red wine cuvée from the renowned South African wine-growing region of Stellenbosch that lives up to its name. The skillful blend of Shiraz, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese combines the best of three great wine regions - Rhône, Bordeaux and Tuscany - to create a seductive wine with a strong character.

In the glass, Charisma is deep red with violet reflections. The nose reveals a complex interplay of aromas of dark berries, spicy notes and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet elegant, with dense fruit, fine tannins and well-integrated acidity. The wine owes its structure to Shiraz, its depth and intensity to Petit Verdot and its lively freshness to Sangiovese - a composition with personality.

The grapes come from optimally oriented sites in Stellenbosch, planted on well-drained soils and strictly reduced yields to ensure the highest quality. Vinification was carried out traditionally: partial whole cluster fermentation, spontaneous fermentation followed by the addition of pure yeast and 15 months maturation in French oak barrels. The result is a harmonious wine with depth, complexity and ageing potential.

The Eikendal Charisma is an ideal accompaniment to hearty dishes such as risotto with mushrooms and chorizo, veal dishes or on special occasions with dark chocolate and truffle pralines. For perfect enjoyment, a serving temperature of 18-20 °C is recommended.
