Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon Rose

This beautiful rose wine is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, fruit driven, refreshing with abundance of berry flavours and a pleasant long finish.

    2. Leave the onions to cool, then mix with 500g beef mince and an egg in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Wet your hands and roll out into little balls (golf ball size). Place on a tray lined with foil or baking paper and put in the fridge to set.
    3. To make the sauce, chop the second onion and press the garlic cloves and fry for a few minutes then add the tomatoes and salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.Add the oregano.
