Description
Faithful Hound by Mulderbosch is a distinguished red blend hailing from the renowned Stellenbosch region of South Africa. This wine captures the essence of its terroir, offering a harmonious balance of depth and flavor. With an ABV of 14.0%, Faithful Hound presents an enticing blend that is both robust and refined. Its complexity is evident in the rich tapestry of flavors that unfold with each sip, a testament to the careful crafting synonymous with Mulderbosch. Expect a medley of dark fruit notes, where ripe blackberries and plums take center stage, complemented by subtle hints of spice and tobacco. The wine's body is full, yet its well-integrated tannins provide a smooth texture, allowing for a pleasingly long finish. A touch of oak adds complexity without overwhelming the palate. Wines like this one typically exhibit a lively acidity that balances the richness, ensuring a vibrant and engaging drinking experience. Serving Faithful Hound at the correct temperature is key to unlocking its full potential. Aim for around 60-65°F (15-18°C), allowing the wine to express its intricate flavors. While decanting isn't a necessity, allowing it to breathe for about 30 minutes can enhance the aromatic profile and soften the tannins. Pour into a large, bold red wine glass to fully appreciate its bouquet and depth. This red blend pairs beautifully with hearty dishes. Consider serving it alongside grilled meats, roasted lamb, or a rich mushroom risotto to complement its robust character. Ideal for immediate enjoyment, Faithful Hound also has the potential to develop further with a few years of careful cellaring, inviting you to explore its evolving nuances over time.

Switched it up from my usual Bogle Essential Red and was honestly impressed. Has more depth, real nice with ribs off the smoker.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Glad you liked it! If you enjoy Faithful Hound, check out Rustenberg's red blends too.

Solid South African red blend, just a touch on the dry side for me. Would pick up again though.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Good call on Faithful Hound, and if you want something less dry next time, try the Graham Beck The Game Reserve Red.
