What our expert thinks...
A bold, no-nonsense Cape Shiraz that shows exactly why Swartland does power so well. Packed with dense blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, it’s rich, juicy and generously spiced, finishing long and warming with a peppery kick. Big, confident and expertly put together, this is a modern South African red that delivers depth without losing its brightness. Ideal with a chargrilled steak or slow-cooked wintry stews.
