Meerestein Shiraz-Mourvèdre 2017

It comes from a successful blend of Shiraz (or Syrah, to use the French term) and Mourvedre grapes. Both grapes, which originate in the Rhône Valley in France, are often used together to produce pleasantly fruity and intensely aromatic wines. This fine South African is no exception, made with grapes from the Western Cape region, where ocean currents create ideal conditions for quality winemaking. Intense and deep ruby red, this wine can count on aromas reminiscent of ripe red fruit, then vegetal notes and that unmistakable hint of spice, typical of Shiraz. On the palate, however, it is soft, well supported by a subtle tannic note and an equally pleasant natural acidity. Excellent on its own, this is the wine that should be uncorked to accompany a fine steak or roast to your satisfaction.
