DeWaal Young Vines Shiraz 2014

Part of our lifestyle range, this is a lovely, fruit-driven wine, with subtle oak.
White pepper and spicy flavours with mocca undertones. Rich black cherryfruit flavours on the middle palate with a smooth, round finish.

Great to enjoy on its own or with pizza and lasagna/pasta dishes. This wine is very popular in summer, when served chilled.
