Complex and intense bouquet of oriental spice with red berry fruits and a perfumed background of violets, with hints of cinnamon, cloves and white pepper. Lovely structured tannins on the palate exhibit a well balanced wine with blackcurrant overtones and a lingering finish.
You say “Shiraz,” I say “Syrah” – it’s the same grape nonetheless. In France it is known and grown as Syrah, and responsible for some of the Northern Rhone’s big, bold red wines. However, in Australia and South Africa it goes by “Shiraz.”

Lovely structured tannins on the palate exhibit a well balanced wine with blackcurrant overtones and a lingering finish. Very classic style with unmistakable Rhone flavours.
This rich, yet soft and spicy wine is best complimented with a lightly spiced or creamy meat dishes.
