South African Red Wine 75 cl Bottle

The Pumphouse Shiraz is selected from mature vineyards that show intense varietal character including black cherry, pepper and spice. Whilst full bodied, the fruit is ripe and sweet and the tannins are soft. A subtle mint and vanilla complexity is derived from a period of maturation in barrel and enhances a long finish. One of the 'Star' super premium wines grown and hand-crafted at Backsberg. Bronze Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
