Syrah/Shiraz

A delicious smooth drinking wine with berry and plum fruit flavours intermingled with liquorice and black pepper notes. The finish is rounded off with cedar and spicy oak tannins. It is a versatile wine that goes well with most dishes, especially with roasted red meats such as lamb and beef.

Food Pairing: Nothing shouts ‘Bring me shiraz’ like a 28 day dry-aged rump steak, cooked to perfection on the barbeque and served with a green pepper sauce or try pulled pork Mexican Tortillas. A surprisingly good match is also Peking duck.

All you really need for this wine is a magnificent view and an African sunset. Preferably in the bush, with the smell of wood fire smoke, baked red earth, crushed dried grass and the roar of a territorial lion in the distance.
