Windmeul Reserve Shiraz 2012

The Shiraz shows a complex nose of red fruit, vanilla, pepper and spice. The palate is full flavoured and smoothly textured, with a long lingering smoky aftertaste. The berries was harvested at optimum ripeness and developed a deep dark centre in the wine.

This wine will compliment venison, pot roast and beef stronganoff.
