Sometimes all it takes is a small addition of a particular grape variety such as Malbec, in this case about 5%, to make a wine that is different from the usual. In this Soldier's Block Shiraz, the Malbec gives a slightly floral character that complements the intense fruity and spicy sensation of the Syrah (or Shiraz, in Australia). The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful bright ruby red colour, with slight garnet hues. Elegant and fruity, it is a smooth red wine with excellent drinkability. An ideal wine to accompany a succulent rib-eye steak or a tasty roast.
