Short Street SGM is full-bodied red wine, well balanced with pronounced red berry flavours and a hint of spice, complemented by subtle oak nuances. The velvety tannin structure is typical of expressive Swartland wines and has been coaxed to perfection by our gifted team of wine makers.
Serve at room temperature as a glass on it’s own or pairs beautifully with bold, full-flavoured foods like roasted duck, lamb and game meat.
