Kaapzicht Shiraz 2011

Name: Kaapzicht Shiraz 2011
Brand: Kaapzicht
SKU: 35128

Deep purple core, with a ruby rim. The wine opens with sweet floral perfumes, developing further to reveal wild bramble, mulberry, spicy rhubarb and liquorice. The palate is generous and juicy, but also quite focussed and elegant, with harmonious, well integrated oak, and a clean, appetising and long finish.

Enjoy with aromatic duck, sweet and spicy venison, or with soft cheeses.
