Mooiplaas Watershed Syrah 2009

A very dark colour reveals the intensity of the wine. Black cherry, spice and leather notes. Palate offer excellent focus and intensity with multi layers of dark chocolate, fennel and dark fruit that is underpinned by fine, well integrated tannins.

Grilled sirloin, rump and fillet, venison stew, roast game birds.
