Cederberg Sustainable Shiraz 2009

An elegant Shiraz laced with subtle Spice aromas. Rich black fruit layered with dark chocolate and a subtle smokey aroma. A well structured wine with a lingering velvety finish that will develop superbly.

Pair with South African game, cheeses such as a young cheddar or gruyere or indulge by pairing with a rich and creamy curry.
