VINTAGE:

MORE INFORMATION:
Rich and intense Shiraz with a dark plum epicenter and ruby red rim. Subtle ripe plum fruit, showing cool climate, and a white pepper bouquet. Hints of truffle and dark fruits. Light French oak preserving fruit dominance. Full, lush and rounded texture with a lingering finish.

Shiraz (or Syrah – same thing) is a bold, full-bodied red wine with rich fruit and spicy notes. It pairs wonderfully with hearty, flavourful dishes. • Red Meat: Grilled steak, lamb chops, braised beef, or venison—Shiraz complements smoky and Savory flavours beautifully. • BBQ & Smoked Foods: Barbecue ribs, smoked brisket, and charred meats enhance its depth. • Spicy & Hearty Curries and Stews: Spiced dishes like mutton curry or rich beef stews bring out its complex character. • Hard & Aged Cheeses: Cheddar, Gouda, and Manchego balance its bold structure. • Dark Chocolate: For dessert, high-cocoa dark chocolate pairs wonderfully with its intense fruitiness
