Kevin Arnold Shiraz 2011

Floral, perfume notes and clove pepper spice lead the aromatics of this Stellenbosch Shiraz, accompanied by soft leather and licorice undertones. The palate is seamless, with a great follow of flavour and natural acidity on the finish, classic dry tannins countering the voluptuous nature of a Stellenbosch Shiraz. A finely balanced wine expressing true cultivar characteristics. Each vintage of this wine is named after one of the children of the Ord and Arnold families. This vintage is named after Lloyd, Kevin and Heather Arnold's youngest son.
