Every family has its mater familias, and this one is a redoubtable woman with character - not someone to take on lightly. She rules the family with an iron fist and a soft heart, she is without pretensions, is forthright and has no qualms about expressing her opinion. And yet her children and grandchildren respect and honour her. In fact, they adore her. Die Martha is a definitive and characterful Shiraz-based blend.
