Porterville Cellars Unfiltered Reserve Shiraz 2004

Smoky spices and mulberry flavours dominate the nose and carry through to the palate. The wine is rich, full and round with a silky soft aftertaste. Expect this wine to develop over the next couple of years.

Enjoy with spit roast pork, lamb or beef.
