Flavour profile

Honey Drop Shiraz immediately opens with a deep ruby ​​color and generous aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, followed by a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it's full and juicy, yet supple thanks to the soft tannins, with a hint of vanilla from the oak that beautifully frames the dark fruit. A flavorful Shiraz from Stellenbosch for those who appreciate roundness, darkness, and spice.</p
