Avontuur Shiraz 2008 - Discontinued

Colour: Full bodied with a deep plum heart.
Aroma: Forthcoming with cigar box and lots of black cherry, cinnamon and ripe purple plums adding to the pleasure.
Flavour: Firm tannins and an attractive nuttiness manifesting in marzipan and caramel with undertones of vanilla.
Finish: Good structure and balance with a velvety finish.

Great with rich pasta dishes or north African cuisine like Moroccon Chicken Tagines. Also a match with South African Bobotie and Malay curries.
