Vrede en Lust Syrah 2009

Our appealing Shiraz is an elegant wine with a supple fruit and spice balance prompting the name change to Syrah.
A Rhône style Shiraz showing violets, plums and sweet spice. The smooth tannins on the palate confirm the promise of this elegant wine. Velvet textured layers showcases this wine through to a juicy mouth feel.

Steak, chops, venison and spicy well matured meats.
