Tasting Notes

This full-bodied Shiraz displays a deep crimson-purple hue with a velvety sheen. The nose bursts with decadent aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, intertwined with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and sweet spice. On the palate, it is rich and layered, showcasing ripe black fruit, mocha, and a hint of vanilla oak, supported by silky tannins and a beautifully rounded texture. The finish is long, smooth, and seductive, leaving traces of cocoa, spice, and ripe fruit.

• Grilled & Roasted Meats: A natural partner for chargrilled ribeye steak, roast lamb, or barbecued pork ribs, where its richness complements smoky, savoury flavours.

• Slow-Cooked Dishes: Excellent with beef bourguignon, braised oxtail, or venison stew, as the wine’s depth enhances slow-cooked intensity.

• Spicy & Sweet-Savoury Cuisine: Works beautifully with hoisin duck, sticky glazed ribs, or Moroccan tagine, where fruit and spice harmonise.

• Cheese Pairings: Complements aged cheddar, smoked Gouda, or creamy blue cheese, balancing savoury richness with lush fruit.

• Decadent Desserts: A luxurious match for dark chocolate fondant, flourless chocolate cake, or espresso truffles, echoing the wine’s mocha and cocoa tones.
