A beautifully balanced and attractive wine that’s delicious now but should hold well for another five years. Herbal fynbos aromas infuse the peach, melon and ripe fig core while accents of soft toast and nuttiness add depth. The medium-weight mouth, framed by sweet, tropical-fruit flavored acidity, leads seamlessly onto the long and evolving finish.

A bright, tasty Shiraz loaded with flavors of chocolate-covered cherry, raspberry compote and integrated sweet spice throughout. Balanced with a medium weight, structured tannins and a juicy plum-infused finish. Approachable now and great for shell steak or lighter game stews.
