Simonsig Shiraz 1997

Garnet red colour. The nose shows pepper and fynbos or dired protea flavours with toasty vanilla oak sweetness. It is already opening up and showing the accessibility of the 1996 vintage. Spicy complexity with lively fruit that lies gently on the palate and a soft tannin structure rounds of the medium bodied Shiraz. To be enjoyed with red meats and venison.

Serving suggestions: Potroast, Beef Stroganof, Mature Cheddar and Biltong.
