Cederberg Merlot / Shiraz 2010

The blend shows an abundance of fruit on the nose. Sweet plums and black currents from the Merlot and a slight hint of spice from the Shiraz. A wine that is very accessible and smooth with fruity flavours lingering on the palate.

A must with every braai, but also suited to rich game dishes.
