Rietvallei Special Select Shiraz is a full-bodied, complex wine with excellent fruit and wood integration. Lots of work in the vineyard and minimal interference in the cellar allows this wine to express its terroir to the fullest. A deep red, almost black colour. A spicy mix of freshly cracked black pepper with hints of coriander and cinnamon followed by robust red berry fruit are evident on the nose. On the palate the rounded red berry fruit gives a full mouth feel with silky tones of coriander and hints of coffee, mocha and bitter chocolate, ending with a noticeable toastiness and soft touch of vanilla flavours. Excellent fruit and wood integration with firm but juicy tannins that will allow this wine to age beautifully.
This wine will pair beautifully with rare roast game, barbequed steak or any other red meat dishes.Serve at room temperature (18ºC).
