Winemaker's Comments:
This elegent wine is best complimented by game or full-flavoured meat dishes and is ideal to mature for those special winter occasions. This 100% Shiraz with its warm spicy flavours and hints of coffee strikes a fine balance between fruit and tannins, reflecting our past experience and Saxenburg's onfoing cellar and vineyard investments.
