Zandvliet My Best Friend Shiraz Rosé 2010

Colour: Natural, brilliant pink
Nose: Aromas of cherries and strawberries and raspberries - typical of our freshly-squeezed shiraz grapes
Palate: Crisp, fruity and dry, yet with a very pleasant sweet, silky finish and long, berry-rich aftertaste.

Appreciation: Make sure it is well chilled. Food Pairing: Versatile, aperitif wine and ideal crossover wine with foods - excellent with light meals and exceptional with sushi, sashimi and seared tuna.
