Boekenhoutskloof
Porcupine Ridge Shiraz
Western Cape, South Africa
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.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #winesample #tcweekdaywine

May 13th, 2016Сухофрукты, несладкие ягоды, кожа и табак. Шикарный тёмный цвет. Но не моё. С хамоном почему-то вообще не пошло, с дор блю намного лучше.
