Org de Rac Die Waghuis Syrah 2012

- Only available from the cellar -
Notes of fynbos, cherry tobacco and a touch of dark chocolate combines perfectly to form the aromas of Die Waghuis Syrah. These flavours carry over onto a balanced palate of velvety tannins that ends in a lingering spicy aftertaste.

Pairs well with red meat dishes and game.
