Perdeberg Dry Collection Joseph's Legacy

Tasting Notes Perdeberg Dry Collection Joseph's Legacy

Deep and intense ruby red in color. The nose clearly presents aromas of black pepper, dried herbs, cherries, red berries, and vanilla. The wine has a firm structure but remains elegant, with layered notes of spices, peppery accents, and ripe red berries. The tannins are smooth, creating a silky finish. Classically made and particularly attractive to any wine lover, in short: baie lekker!

Wine & Food

Perdeberg Dry Collection Joseph's Legacy will gain complexity with age and continue to develop beautifully over the next ten years. An obvious choice with charcoal-grilled Ribeye or Côte de Boeuf. It also pairs excellently with a beef or lamb stew, such as a Provençal Daube.

Other information

Joseph's Legacy is the South Rhône from South Africa. Think of a Gigondas, Lirac style with even riper black fruit, pepper, vanilla, and silky tannins. A wonderful legacy to receive and to pour.

Joseph’s Legacy is a tribute to Perdeberg’s legendary winemaker, Joseph Huskisson, who was a visionary during his time at Perdeberg (1956 to 1994). The wines from the Dry Land Collection are complex with sufficient fruit and structure. A South Rhône style blend, sourced from selected dry vineyards. Matured in 500-liter French oak barrels for 18 months, with the winemaker selecting only the best barrels. 20% of the barrels are new oak.
