Hoopenburg Shiraz 2015

Some of the best Shiraz find their origins in Stellenbosch . Being cooler, the region gives the wine body and intensity. This wine is smooth and rich, well structured, with notes of delicate mingling spice on the nose. Fresh aromas of dark fruit are aplenty.

This soft and palatable wine pairs well with a variety of medium to rare red meats, ox tail, goulash, casserole and venison.
