Riebeek Cellars Reserve Pinotage 2008

Riebeek Reserve Shiraz is a complex wine offering the upfront fruit of a new world Shiraz with smoky nuances from barrel maturation, without compromising elegance. Intense ruby in the glass, the nose does not disappoint with dark berries complimented by an array of spice. The pallet follows through with fruit and vanilla, all well-balanced, smooth and sensual.

A perfect companion to red meat, especially game, and other richly flavoured dishes and cheeses. Serve at room temperature.
