About this wine

Lanzerac Shiraz from Stellenbosch is a very full-bodied, dry red with ripe dark fruit, pepper and savoury spice. Stellenbosch's warm conditions, tempered by fresher site influences, give it both weight and notably lively acidity. Oak ageing can bring cedar, smoke and vanilla notes, although the precise balance varies by vintage.
