Kanu Shiraz Limited Release 2004

2008 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show - Bronze Medal (78/100)
Deep ruby colour with a cerise rim. Freshly milled pepper bouquet with hints of nutmeg and cloves on a berry base. Sleek and flavourful; concentrated fruit with soft vanilla wood tannins. Well balanced with a long lingering aftertaste. The wine will gain in complexity during the next two to five years.

Serve at 19°C. Ideal with char grilled black mushrooms; moussaka; game birds simmered in red wine; pan-fried pork filled; Ossobucco; and waterblommetjie bredie (a traditional South African lamb stew made with a endemic Cape water lily).
