---------------------
南非Franschhoek 嘅名氣未必好似Stellenbosch, Paarl等地區出名,
但其實佢係Stellenbosch嘅東邊, Paarl 嘅下面, 都算沿海地區,
而Franschhoek一樣有唔少出色佳釀。

南非既Bordeaux Blend同Sparkling wine 近年令人眼前一亮,
不論天氣, 土地, 技術都不比傳統Old World 遜色,
而Normandie 呢支Eisen & Viljoen, 除了樽身用蠟設計非常精美外, 亦係Vivino獲聚多飲家給予4.5分高分支持, 比唔少一線Bordeaux酒還要高分。

網上品評参考:

Colour:
Intense red velvet with deep ruby highlights.

Aroma:
A mix of red currant, raspberry, vanilla and pencil shavings at first. Rich complex aromas which intensify over time with balanced notes of oak and dark fruits.

Palate:
Concentrated, rich, young tannins on the mid palate with an abundance of ripe fruit, berries and nuances of tobacco speaks of a very serious wine right from the first taste.
Violets, mixed ripe fruits and sophisticated notes of tobacco integrates perfectly with flavours of oak and spice as the wine continues to reward with time in the glass.
A young, muscular, complex wine which will continue to reward beyond expectation with proper cellaring over the next decades.
