Description
A deep ruby, purple colour. A complex nose of plums, violets, white pepper and cloves. A bold entrance to the palate introducing mulberries followed by a balanced tannin structure and a floral, lingering finish.
The Crucible Shiraz is the perfect companion to roasted duck, venison, a hearty oxtail casserole or a simple pasta with black pepper and parmesan.
