Lifted fragrant aromas, medium-bodied spicy dark fruits, and a rounded finish. Lovely stuff.

Full-flavoured white meats. Mine went nicely with brined pork chops and caramelised onions.

Marks & Spencer has both red and white wines under the Cornelia label. Both are made by Adi Badenhorst, one of the new stars of South African wine, and both come from Swartland, a region that has been growing grapes for a long time, but has become everybody’s favourite in the last year or two. The red is a Southern Rhône-style blend of Shiraz, Cinsault and Mourvèdre
