Credo Shiraz 2012

Complex and attractive bouquet of oriental spices with typical Shiraz smoked ham and white pepper flavours. Good intense ruby colour. Full to medium-bodied palate with a long soft finish. Well balanced wine with spicy plum and berry fruit flavours and pepper overtones that finish with soft round tannins.

This wine is best suited with roast beef, oxtail or rack of lamb.
