Brutus Family Reserve Shiraz 2015

The wine is medium bodied with vibrant ripe flavours of cherries and plums, supported by the balanced use of French oak and complimented with notes of pepper spice.

                                                                                

It is ideally accompanied with rack of lamb or barbequed lamb chops.
