Riebeek Cellars Shiraz Cinsaut 2015

A lustrous red in the glass, this exciting blend of Shiraz and Cinsaut introduces an array of ripe berries and follows through in a juicy well-structured palate with a smooth finish. Unwooded and easy-drinking, this light red wine is perfect for everyday enjoyment.

Serve at room temperature. Light and fruity, this is a red wine that can easily be enjoyed on its own. It works well with pasta and chicken or layer aubergine, tomato, feta and bacon for a Mediterranean match. A glass full with your pork sausage and mashed potatoes will make a traditional meal something special.
