Tasting notes

Deep garnet colour. The nose has a distinct flavour of red berry fruits with a white peppery spiciness and a slight hint of wood. Holds complex flavours of fruits and spice with well structured tannins that give the wine its length and weight.

Cellar Notes

This Shiraz is made from hand selected bunches. The wine was matured for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Food Notes

This big, yet elegant wine is impressive with full-flavoured meat dishes.
