Description
This wine is a Shiraz from the Cederberg region in South Africa. It has a complex flavor with notes of red fruit and dark chocolate. It is full bodied and has mouth-watering tannins. The wine is best enjoyed when it is aged for 4-8 years. It can be paired with South African game with soft dark spices like cloves and cinnamon, fresh pepper and spice balls. If the barbeque includes slightly sweet sauces, try the Shiraz, but a strong cheese souffl* will make the knees go weak. The end of the evening can be capped off with a tiny block of dark chocolate.
A multi-layered Shiraz showing red cherries and mulberries with a subtle mocha, clove nuances. Complex on palate with long lasting flavours of red fruit and dark chocolate. Full bodied wine with mouth-watering tannins. Optimum Drinking Time: 4 - 8 years.
Food pairing: Pair this wine with South African game with soft dark spices like cloves and cinnamon, fresh pepper and spice balls. If the barbeque includes slightly sweet sauces, try the Shiraz, but a strong cheese souffl* will make the knees go weak. End the evening with a tiny block of dark chocolate meaning skip the port. Marrow and truffle are two richer foods that pair very well with Shiraz. Cheese: Powerful cheeses such as young cheddar or gruyere, appenzeller, lancashire, leiden, munster, certain parmesans, raclette, but NOT the soft white cheeses.
