Landskroon Paul de Villiers Shiraz 2005

Veritas 2007 - Bronze
2007 Michelangelo International Wine Awards - Silver Medal
This wine is full bodied with delicious rich flavours of black berry and piquant pepper supported by tones of spicy oak gained from aging in new oak barriques.

An ideal accompaniment to most meats and cheeses, this wine can be enjoyed now but will benefit from further careful maturation.
