Reyneke Organic Shiraz 2010

This blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon has a delicate violet and perfume aroma with a strong underlying spicy aromatic profile. In its youth the wine is still rather tight on the palate, but in time the flavours will start to unfold more. Depth, texture and balance are key. This wine will develop over the next 10 years.
