Andreas Shiraz, Wellington, Western Cape, South Africa, 2017
"I have visited Andreas in 2016 and was most impressed with the 13 hectare (4.5 under vine) estate. The 2017 Shiraz is powerful, full bodied, with very expressive nose of spice, roasted nuts, caramel and dry prunes. On the palate we have sweet ripe red fruits, spice and crushed black pepper. On the finish the wine is long with medium tannins, fruity and complex." - Our Head Sommelier, George Bergier
