Description
Always an amazing value, this Shiraz is ripe and fruity with a soft, silky mouthfeel and a sprinkle of black pepper character. It's just the thing for mixed-grill barbecue, and for peppercorn-crusted burgers in particular.

Tasting Notes
The 2015 Skaapveld Shiraz was 50% matured in oak barrels for 12 months, the remainder used. It has a composed blackberry and cassis-scented bouquet with a subtle floral note that develops in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, nicely judged acidity and well-integrated oak that allows the dark berry fruit to show through. There is a hint of white pepper on the aftertaste, completing a well-made Syrah that should drink well for 3-4 years. Drink Date: 2018-2025. Score - 90.
