Fire Flower Shiraz/Mourvedre 2014

As with so many wines, the inspiration comes from France. In this case, it’s the Rhone Valley, where it’s common practice to throw a little Viognier (a white grape) in with a vat of Syrah (a red grape). This is South Africa’s take on a Rhone classic and it works beautifully. Rich and ripe with black fruits and spice, it’s best drunk fireside.
