Vrede en Lust The Red Lady 2022

The Vrede en Lust The Red Lady is a wine that pays tribute to the ladies, working in the tasting room at Vrede en Lust, with their red dresses. One can also not miss them at wine shows and events, as they immediately draw attention with their bright red dresses.

Finding a good red wine around the R150 price mark is scarce, but The Red Lady certainly hits the spot here! In the glass, this wine has a ruby colour with a nose of black berries and spices. It delivers well on the palate with a structured mouth-feel, with notes of ripe black cherries, plums and blackberries. A hint of fruitcake comes forward before it subsides again to a blackberry finish. It is very moreish!

This wine can be chilled slightly. It can be enjoyed on its own or with food such as lasagne, beef stew, lamb chops or spicy chicken. It can be enjoyed now or within the next five years. It is true value for money.
