Diemersfontein Shiraz 2017

A fusion of sour cherries, vanilla, spice and violets entice the senses. These intense flavours follow through to the palate, resulting in a fullbodied and lingering finish.

Red meat are this wines first love, while its rich concentration and velvety texture makes it the perfect partner to slow-roasted barbecue pork. A generous chunk of smoked Gouda or an oozing piece of Camembert will emphasise the spicy tobacco notes of this well balanced Shiraz.
