A multi-dimensional wine filled with intense red fruit, mulberry and cherries on the nose. Well balanced wine with elegant oaking expressing hints of sweet vanilla and mocha in the background. On the palate intense fruit flavours follows through leaving a silky smooth sensation on the palate. A well-crafted Shiraz that allows you to cellar the wine for a few years developing into something sensational. Pair with South African game, powerful cheeses such as young cheddar or gruyere or indulge by pairing with intricate dark bitter chocolate.
