Tasting Notes
This is a remarkable Shiraz with an expressive nose and great complexity. Fruits such as pomegranate, strawberries, vanilla, white pepper, bright red fruit together with a hint of smokiness will meet you on the nose. A medium bodied wine with plush structure and fruit following on to your palate with a lingering aftertaste. Good balance between fruit and wood.
Food Suggestions
A very balanced wine which can be enjoyed with mild curry dishes or a nice slow cooked brisket
