Is Columella a good wine?
Tasting profile
A complex, Rhone-styled red with peppery spice on the nose and palate, dark berry fruit, and firm tannins balanced by fresh acidity. Ripe yet elegant, with enough depth and structure to pair with rich dishes like duck without leaning sweet.
Synthesized from 1,481Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Super vin. Ville aldrig have gættet Sydafrika. Leder tankerne hen på Rhone - peber i næse og smag. En af de absolut bedste SA vine.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This wine has aromatics of fynbos, olive and earth are also there but pushed way back while anything floral is just about absent as if prettiness might contradict gravitas. The palate meanwhile possesses pure fruit, fresh acidity and wonderfully granular tannins
