ZONNEBLOEM NOIR DE NOIR RED BLEND

Why is it Special?

What makes Noir de Noir special is its Sensory Focus. While many blends aim for “power,” this wine aims for “Velvet.” It is special because it targets a specific palate preference: the lover of dark, “black” flavours—think liquorice, blackberry, and cocoa. It is a heritage brand that has maintained its “Dark and Seductive” identity for decades, offering a reliable escape into a richer, smoother style of red wine that remains incredibly accessible.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A heady and mysterious bouquet. Expect an explosion of blackcurrants and ripe blackberries, followed by sophisticated layers of liquorice, aniseed, and a hint of sweet vanilla oak.

Palate: Sumptuous and incredibly smooth. The palate is a dense tapestry of dark plums and black cherries, supported by velvety, integrated tannins. There is a distinct “dark” chocolate and mocha character that provides a creamy mouthfeel.

Finish: A long, lingering finish that leaves a savoury trail of baking spices and a final, indulgent whisper of black fruit jam.
