Brampton Shiraz 2007

The rich, savoury character of Shiraz is enhanced by Viognier, adding an aromatic dimension to the wine. Mourvédre component brings an amount of wild berry & spice to this blend. Earth, pepper-spice and hints of dark chocolate support the richness of ripe fruit.

Due to accessible tannin structure, this wine will complement a variety of fine dishes.
