Golden Kaan Shiraz 2008

This wine's bouquet suggests ripe berries with green pepper and spicy flavours. There is excellent follow through onto the palate where the peppery flavours dominate. The well-integrated ripe tannins make for easy accessibility.

Enjoy on its own or with meaty casseroles and stews.
