Brampton Shiraz 2009

A delicately balanced wine with an attractive spectrum of flavours from the first rich impressions of black cherries and ripe plums brushed by alluring floral notes to the overt supporting wood spice that develops on the aftertaste enhancing the primary fruit intensity.

Due to accessible tannin structure, this wine will complement a variety of fine dishes.
