Porcupine Ridge Shiraz

Always a firm favourite & brilliant value for money for some lovely Rhône style black pepper & Samson Syrah.

I made my first South African Bunny Chow this week (aka curry in a bread bowl) 🍛🍞The latest #thetcwineclub box was South African inspired and this pick was based on a recommendation by Reeva from Proudly South African in Perth.

We really enjoyed the Bunny Chow and this Boekenhoutskloof Porcupine Ridge 2014 Syrah was the perfect match with its spiced black fruit aromas and flavours. It’s most definitely a full bodied wine and I enjoyed the hints of black jellybeans that my palate seemed to pick up.

‼️ Wine Fact: Shiraz & Syrah are the same grape variety. A winemaker will typically use one or the other to convey the style they have made. Syrah is more an old world elegant style while Shiraz is more a fruit driven and new world in style. Google it for more info.

Good dinner wine, dry, good red fruit flavor

A deep red Shiraz with punchy blackberry and charcoal undertones.Would go well with BBQ meats

Picked this up based on an LCBO Food and Drink suggestion...a little flatter than I'd like, but not bad.

This is my go-to bottle. Never disappoints.

2016 vintage, enjoyed this wine in mid July 2017. Deep purple. Aroma; blackberry, spicy and bright, slight volatile acidity. Medium viscosity. Medium plus acidity. Jammy and full bodied. Med length finish with no unpleasant notes. Will certainly drink this again. 😋

I tend to like South African wines. Very nice and smooth. Would buy it again.

Drank with a Chinese

A little fruity but not overly...with a nice fresh finish
