AYAMA Baboon's Back Shiraz 2011

This full red wine's bouquet suggests ripe berries overlaid with green pepper and spicy flavours. There is excellent follow through onto the palate where the peppery flavours dominate. The well-integrated ripe tannins make for easy accessibility.

Ideal served at: 18 - 19° C

Ideal with Goulash, Kassler Rib, roast venison, Malesian food and all sort of grilled meat.
