Brilliant pale colour, perfume and flavours of strawberry and wild cherry. Great value!
Brilliant pale colour, yet with intense perfume and flavours of strawberry, wild cherry and mild cassis. A slightly more rounded palate than your classic Provence Rosé, yet with excellent freshness. A great food wine.

Profile: Labelling a wine as Syrah or Shiraz used to be indicative of origin however now tends to refer to style. Wines labelled as Syrah will be in the classic French style, medium bodied, blue fruited and showing lovely peppery spice whereas Shiraz tends to be fuller in body, with riper red and black fruit character indicating a warmer climate - the Australian style. The variety responds very well to oak maturation, adding tannic structure to the fruity frame, allowing for extreme ageability. It is also a very good blending grape, adding richness, fruit and structure.
