Leopards Leap Shiraz 2021

Lively aromas of dark fruits, black currant and blackberries are intertwined with subtle whiffs of vanilla and cinnamon.
Beautifully balanced by layers of dark fruit and oak spice flavours, with a well defined tannin structure, ensuring a lingering after-taste.

This wine is the perfect partner to Italian fare, wood-fire grilled meats and strong, hard cheeses.
