Shiraz  Tasting Notes
Deep purple, big nose of freshly ground white pepper followed with hints of mixed spices and game. A smooth, hearty shiraz packed with ripe berry fruit, good density of flavours and a refreshingly long finish.
Food Accompaniments
Food Accompaniments: BOLD & VERSATILE: An enhancing companion to anything from red meats through curry and hearty pastas.. Our favourite; fillet tenderloin with a gorganzola sauce.
