Rethink your relationship with food
A family Passion This is our carefully curated selection of shiraz and Syrah.
Shiraz The wine story: Every wine tells a story through its flavour and aroma, which is described as “tasting notes”, which is influenced by the region it was produced in.
Note: Here is something interesting to take note off, Syrah and Shiraz are essentially the same wine the Australians have preferred in calling their shiraz blend Syrah as appose to Shiraz but
We love telling the “story” of each wine because when you understand how meticulously the wine makers have carefully crafted and produce this wine it makes the experience of enjoying it all the more satisfying.
interestingly the grape that we all know today that produces Shiraz or Syrah is originally for Iran and not from France or any region that today produces Shiraz or Syrah.

Vineyards have been progressively replanted with noble varieties, the latest viticultural practices have been introduced and a modern cellar has been built.

Tasting notes: On the nose: Shiraz aromas of savoury liquorice, white pepper, blackcurrant, dark cherry and fynbos form the inviting nose. Palate: Expect similar notes to follow through onto a palate that expresses well-incorporated oak and a texture that is supple and silky. The finish is lengthy.
Tasting notes The full-bodied character of this wine harmonises perfectly with rich, flavourful dishes, grilled foods (including grilled vegetables), game dishes (particularly those incorporating stewed fruit and sweet aromatic spice components), peppercorn-crusted steaks and barbecued meat in a sticky, sweet sauce. The wine’s abundant fruit also latches onto the sweetness in jellies, chutneys or berry sauces.
