Which wine goes best with biltong?

Van Loveren just sent us a tweet which inspired a quick post :) Which wine goes best with biltong?

Now. One of the really cool things about a platform like Real Time Wine is that real wine drinkers use words to describe their experiences and the wines they're drinking. So we can search through those words. And see where out little friend, biltong, crops up.

So here they are, some of the wines which Real Time Wine fans think go well with biltong.

  • Arabella Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Chateau de Beaucasetel Red
  • Meerlust Rubicon (that better be some expensive biltong!)
  • Vergenoegd Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Kleine Zalze Cabernet Sauvignon

And those are just a few to try out. Looks like the red wines, especially Cabernet Sauvignon's have it eh?

Back at ya Van Loveren :)
