De Waal Shiraz 2017

Part of our lifestyle range, this is a lovely, fruit-driven wine, with subtle oak. Rich black cherry fruit flavours on the middle palate, with a smooth, round finish. There is a touch of white pepper with mocca undertones.

This wine is well-rounded and great to enjoy on its own, or with pizza and pasta.  Serve this wine chilled in summer at about 12 Degrees Celsius, it is very refreshing!
