Steenberg Shiraz 1999

This full bodied Shiraz is deep garnet in colour with hints of green peppercorns, fennel and vanilla on the nose. Firm structure and good balance between acid, tannins and fruit on the palate with a soft velvet finish make this wine the ideal partner to all roasted red meats.
