Merchant's description
One of the best-selling South African blends in the UK Why do we love it so much? The blend of Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and a splash of white - Viognier. The combination works, producing a powerful wine with good fruit and some spice tempered by flavours of dark chocolate. It۪s great with food. We give them full marks for the name and the presentation too! Give it a try. Alcohol by volume: 14%
