We are totally blown away by the quality of this inexpensive wine. This is an exceptionally smooth wine with an old world character and a steal at R37.95 ($5) . We tried it with a beautiful, underdone sirloin steak which enhanced it superbly.
Perfectly cooked sirloin steak
Partners in this venture are Tyrell Myburgh, Charles Back and Jose Conde and this is how they explain their purpose:
This MAN thing began with three friends and an idea: To make a wine that we ourselves would love to buy. Good quality, good value. Not exactly an epithany, but enough to motivate us into action. What do we name it? Keeping peace in the family we took the first initials of our wives. (We each have one wife, that is.) So that’s how we explained to Marie, Anette and Vicky that we were going to be “busy” most weekends. “It’s for you!” we told them.
Of course, we coulda just slapped another cute furry animal on the label, but thats been done. It’s time to focus again on what’s in the bottle. This is the opposite of a critter wine, this is a wine to drink with critters. Not too serious, but serious enough
MAN Vintners cab seems to have the unusual problem of high evaporation – the bottle was empty in no time, so easily did it glide down.
