Vanderburg Shiraz Pinotage 2013 - Wine Review

Another blog post, another red wine review.
What can I say? We like red wine. :)

Mr.R bought a bottle of Vanderburg Shiraz Pinotage 2013 from our local Co-Op.
Or to be totally accurate, Mr.R bought two bottles of Vanderburg Shiraz Pinotage 2013 from our local Co-Op.
Well, he couldn't not buy it. Why? The Co-Op had reduced it from £6.75 to £4.49 - Excellent!

Vanderberg. Shiraz. Pinotage. Red wine.

From the bottle label -
Layers of sweet spice, berry and subtle plum aromas follow through to a rounded palate. Its soft tannins and full fruit work perfectly well with medium-rare chops and it will not be overpowered by strong flavours of garlic, rosemary or caramelised onions. Enjoy now, or within two years from vintage.

Vanderburg Shiraz Pinotage 2013 is a lovely wine from the Western Cape, South Africa. It's 14.5%vol.
We thought it went really well with our food, which is pretty much always something seriously spicy, and we could definitely taste plums, damsons, and a touch of nutmeg. Very nice, and a bargain too.
It reminded us of our travels to South Africa, where we enjoyed lots of lovely trips to vineyards and of course tasting their wines.
Are you a fan of South African wine?
