Jamsheed
Ancient writings tell an endearing tale of Jamsheed a Persian king who was said to be able to see his kingdom in a cup of wine and whose fondness for fresh grapes lead him to store them in jars over winter where they would inevitably spontaneously ferment and be set aside as ‘poison’. One of King Jamsheed’s harem despairing of frequent migraines chooses to commit suicide by drinking from a poisoned jar. She wakes to find herself miraculously cured informs her king who is most pleased and sets about making many jars of ‘poison’ and thus wine was discovered.
Description
Bright purple. Fragrant scent of black and blue fruits, olive paste and smoky Indian spices. Shows typical syrah character, with appealing sweetness, smokiness and spiciness to its cassis, cherry and liquorice flavours. The subtle tannic finish repeats the smoky note and shows very good focus.
Food Pairing
Grilled or roast beef especially served rare or with a pepper sauce.
