The Mitre 2022

Elegant and expressive, the Mitre’s Edge The Mitre 2020 is a distinctive Cabernet Franc-led red blend from Simonsberg-Paarl, South Africa, showcasing the depth, character, and balance of the Mitre’s Edge vineyards. A dark, inky violet colour hints at the wine’s richness, while aromas of ripe black fruit mingle with classic green pepper, liquorice, and subtle savoury notes.

The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with layers of dark fruit, herbaceous Cabernet Franc character, and beautifully integrated tannins. The finish is savoury and lingering, bringing together the wine’s fruit, spice, and earthy complexity.

A structured yet approachable South African red blend, The Mitre reflects the Mitre’s Edge winemaking style — expressive, food-friendly, and grounded in the character of the Paarl terroir.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

The Mitre 2020 is a versatile red wine for hearty, savoury dishes, making it an excellent choice for a South African braai as well as more refined meals. Its rich fruit, savoury character and structured tannins pair particularly well with ostrich, beef, venison, lamb chops and mince-based dishes.

Try it alongside braaied or grilled lamb chops, a juicy steak, venison, ostrich or richly flavoured mince dishes. Dishes accompanied by thick, spicy sauces also complement the wine beautifully.

Serve slightly cool, around 16–18 °C, to allow its fruit and aromatic complexity to shine.
