In 1488 Bartholomeu Dias had the first sighting of the southernmost tip of Africa. Signature white pepper, blackberry and mocha notes lead to a full, silky palate and long spicy finish with savoury tannins. A versatile food wine to be enjoyed with a tasty steak or hearty beef stew as a companion to good times with friends and family. 14% vol 750ml bottle.

Common questions

What is a GSM blend?

A blend of Grenache, Syrah (Shiraz) and Mourvèdre, the classic grapes of the Southern Rhône, also used widely in Australia.

Does Shiraz go with spicy food?

Mildly spiced and barbecued dishes work well. Very hot chilli can make high alcohol, tannic reds taste bitter, so a lighter, fruitier wine may suit better.
