Paul Roos Farming

The grapes for Die Filantroop from Paul Roos come from vines from the Rust en Vrede estate, one of South Africa’s most renowned wineries. The wine is a product of the Paul Roos Farming project (sales of the wines sold under this label go to funding the education of the workers’ children), which is supported by the famous winemaker Augustus Dale, known as Gus, who trained in Burgundy, France, and worked there for many years. This provides the advantage of uniting the viticulture of the Old World with the modern approaches of the New World. This wonderfully structured red wine consists of 69% Shiraz and equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinotage. Its extremely intense bouquet offers aromas of red fruit and light notes of tobacco. The supple but strong tannins are harmoniously integrated. On the palate, Die Filantroop from Paul Roos pampers your senses with aromas of wild berries and mild pepper. The finish is characterised by subtle hints of spices and earthy notes, giving the wine its power. It has a high ageing potential. By the way, the name ‘Die Filantroop’, which means ‘philanthropist’, says it all: This wine has the potential to become your ‘best friend’. Die Filantroop from Paul Roos goes perfectly with lamb or beef. It is also a good accompaniment to carpaccio of game.
