McWilliams On The Grapevine Shiraz
The On the Grapevine range is an innovative retro-inspired range when life was simple, products had an ingrained quality and people sought the better things in life. This Shiraz is no exception, a flavoursome wine of black cherry and raspberry balanced with subtle tannins that make it the perfect complement to BBQ meats or cheese.
On The Grapevine Shiraz combines the intense dark fruit aromas of plum and forest berries, with hints of spice and vanilla. On the palate it is rich and smooth, with lashes of dense ripe fruit and soft tannins. Additionally, barrel maturation in premium American and French oak adds further character to this full bodied Shiraz.
Perfect with barbecued meals, rich dishes, cheese platters and dark chocolate.
