Protea Shiraz 2016

Name: Protea Shiraz 2016
Brand: Anthonij Rupert
SKU: 42274

Appealing nose of dark berry fruits with lovely spice highlights. The ripe, succulent plum and black cherry notes carry through to the palate which is rounded and soft-textured with a plush mouthfeel and a gentle hint of tannin. A spicy pepper vibrancy adds a lift and view with a cocoa/chocolate richness. Long, lingering finish.

Black pepper steak with brandy cream sauce.
