Tomato in
food does overtake many delicate wines, so can spices and chilli. The wine that
went so well with this dish was a Garagiste wine from Topaz, made by Cape Wine Master Clive Torr
from Stellenbosch grapes. It is a 2009 Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon blend.
This is full of robust cassis fruit and also some lovely savouriness from the
Cab Franc. If you have some, try it with this sort of food and you will enjoy
it. It was from our cellar and we are not sure if Clive still has any to sell. But
it might be worth looking for, he has always made excellent hand crafted wines.
Some heavy red wines wash away the taste of the food, this added another
dimension to it
