Stellenrust Peppergrinder's Shiraz 2014

This wine offers a dark brooding nose of spice and a distinct white pepper and lifted violet note. The palate shows black berry and red cherry but also a persistent peppery spice and violet nuance with a lingering finish of black olives and soft vanilla undertones.

The Peppergrinder’s Shiraz can stand its ground to many a large piece of meat – whether it is Madagascan cured fillet or oven grilled rack of lamb.
