RECOMMENDATION: Enjoy now with roast beef, stews, lamb, venison, pasta and steak.
WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS: Shiraz is by nature a vigorous grower, so a 6-wire Perold system is used to manage the canopy.  Our Shiraz is planted in deep Karoo and shale soils that are rich in lime.  This rich lime content ensures a healthy growing medium. 
TASTING NOTES: This full-bodied wine shows freshly crushed black pepper aromas with hints of cinnamon and cloves on the nose, with lots of brambly red berry fruit, rich mulberry and well-integrated vanilla tones.
