  “The general rule of paring wine with meat is, the leaner the red meat, the lighter the red wine you can use to ‘match’ your meal; for instance, blends like Cabernet, Merlot & Shiraz. A rich cut, such as ribs or rump, will pair nicely with a bold and high tannin red wine such as Pinotage, Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon.”

The name refers to its unelaborate rustic nature.” The addition of cream to this sauce, gives It a little bit of luxury.
