Shiraz/Pinotage/Mourvedre * 75cl * 14.0% ABV * Stellenbosch, South Africa
This Cape Blend is made up of a good whack of Shiraz, a splash of Pinotage and just a touch of Mourvedre for a lovely herbal note. Once blended, the wine is given some rather lavish treatment for 14 months in French oak barrels. Big-fruited with plenty of body, it shows ripe dark red and black fruit, some tobacco notes, and baking spices on the finish. Funnily enough, this would go down very well with a beef steak...
