Groot Eiland Shiraz Pinotage 2011

A combination of mountain terroir and cool climatic conditions results in grapes with rich fruit concentration. This barrel-matured, finely balanced wine combines the typical spicy flavours of a Shiraz, with the soft, smoky character of Pinotage. Elegant wine with a deep red colour and full ripe fruit and red berry flavours. The velvety smooth mouthfeel ends in a long, lingering palate

Compliments all gourmet cuisine.
