Simonsvlei Premier Selection Shiraz 2012

A medium-bodied, wood-matured red wine. Shiraz thrives in our region, so you'll find the typical ripe maraschino cherry, plum and white pepper flavours on the nose, while prominent berry flavours follow through onto the palate.

Enjoy with a variety of red meat dishes. Superb with Moroccan lamb.
