If, like me, chocolate and wine both figure on your favourite things list, those nice people at Kumala have some great suggestions for ways to make Valentines go with a smile...I'll leave the other suggestion to your imagination...

Why not treat yourself and your significant other to an evening of matching two of your favourite things, Kumala wine and chocolate? What better evening to set aside and curl up together than February 14, Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is the one day of the year when people are encouraged to express their love and affection for one another. With hectic lives, deadlines and day to day stresses, we sometimes forget to savour those special moments when the TV is off or the children are in bed.

A box of chocolates as a gift has traditionally been a symbol of affection, whether it’s for a loved one’s birthday or a gift on Mother’s Day - chocolates have always been a good way of expressing how much you care.

So sit back with the Kumala guide to making two of your favourite things a little more special.  Set aside that Thursday night and enjoy the combination of luscious chocolates and your favourite Kumala wines.

White Chocolate Truffle

Delicious with Kumala’s Chenin Viognier

A refreshing white wine with floral peachy flavours and perfect with the sweet White Chocolate Truffle. Serve Kumala’s Chenin Viognier chilled to heighten the taste sensation and to complement the sweetness of the White Chocolate.

Dark Chocolate and Orange Crisp

Kumala Ruby Cabernet Merlot, the Perfect Partner

A medium bodied wine with scents of juicy, blackberry fruit and delicious plummy flavours are the perfect qualities to complement the bitterness of the dark chocolate and the citrus tones of the orange crisp pieces. Kumala’s Ruby Cabernet Merlot encapsulates all of these qualities and this beautiful ruby red wine is perfect with delicious dark chocolates.

Milk Chocolate Praline
 
Complemented by Kumala Rosė

Kumala Rosé, a deep pink wine with aromas of watermelon and strawberry fruit. Refreshingly crisp with cream flavours which perfectly complement the melt in your mouth smooth, rich milk chocolate praline. This wine is best enjoyed when served chilled.
