Kumkani Shiraz/Viognier 2004

This Shiraz/Viognier has aromas of ripe summer berries, soft stone fruits and vanilla, which carry through to the flavour of the wine.

This wine can be enjoyed with a range of different meat dishes but is especially good with fusion cooking where adventurous cooks blend flavours from different cultivars.Suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.
