Haskell Dombeya Fenix 2021
Bordeaux Blend
Description
Haskell Vineyards is situated on the slopes of Stellenbosch’s celebrated Golden Triangle, one of South Africa’s most respected red wine growing areas. Warm days, cooling afternoon breezes and well-drained soils create ideal conditions for structured, age-worthy Bordeaux varieties. The Dombeya range honours the original farm name and focuses on expressive, accessible wines that still reflect the pedigree of the site. Fenix, the flagship blend within the range, brings together classic Bordeaux grapes in a polished Cape style that balances richness with freshness.
Colour:
Deep garnet red with a youthful ruby edge.
Nose:
Layered aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum and dark cherry open first, followed by cedar, tobacco leaf, dried herbs and hints of dark chocolate.
Palate:
Full-bodied and smooth, with concentrated black fruit at the core. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while balanced acidity keeps the wine composed and fresh. Notes of mocha, spice and savoury oak add depth through the mid-palate.
Finish:
Long and steady, finishing on cassis, cocoa and subtle graphite notes.

Haskell Dombeya Fenix 2021
- Food Pairing : Haskell Dombeya Fenix 2021 is well suited to richer dishes such as roast lamb, beef fillet, slow-braised short ribs or mature cheddar. The wine’s firm structure and dark fruit depth stand up well to red meat, while its freshness prevents heavy dishes from feeling overly rich. It is also an excellent partner for mushroom-based dishes where the savoury notes in the wine can shine.
