Tasting Notes – A Refreshing Symphony
Inala is a masterful Bordeaux-style blend where structure and elegance intertwine. Cabernet Sauvignon leads with its refined dusty tannins and subtle nutty undertones, setting the foundation for a complex yet approachable wine.
Petit Verdot injects vibrancy into the palate, offering a firm grip laced with juicy red berries and lush cherry notes. Finally, Malbec deepens the intrigue, enhancing the blend with its rich colour and an irresistible burst of choc-mint succulence. Medium-bodied with a seamless balance of fruit and earthiness, Inala is a journey of flavour—layered, expressive, and undeniably captivating.
Perfect Pairings for Every Occasion
Inala’s balanced structure and layered complexity make it a versatile companion at the table. Its earthy depth and vibrant red berry notes beautifully complement grilled lamb chops, where the smoky char enhances the wine’s nutty undertones.
The juicy acidity and firm tannins cut through the richness of slow-braised beef short ribs, while the choc-mint succulence of Malbec finds harmony with herb-crusted venison. For a more relaxed pairing, aged cheddar or a dark chocolate tart amplify Inala’s depth, making each sip an indulgent experience. Whether by the fire or at a festive table, Inala elevates every dish with its refined elegance.
