Wildekrans Shiraz 2009

Purple colour with a ruby tinge. This elegant wine has a complex nose of cinnamon, fynbos, deep black berries and candied citrus. The palate is full and fruity with a lingering aftertaste of spice and super smooth tannins.

Rich beef stews and all duck and game dishes go very well.
