Description
The Spier Seaward Shiraz 2021 displays a deep ruby-red color. On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of dark fruits such as blackberries, plums, and blueberries, complemented by aromatic notes of black pepper, cloves, and hints of licorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with concentrated flavors of ripe black cherries, dark chocolate, and a subtle smokiness. The wine has a smooth texture, well-integrated tannins, and balanced acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering notes of spice and a touch of oak.
Food Pairing
This Shiraz pairs well with a wide range of flavorful dishes. It is an excellent choice for grilled meats like lamb chops, steak, or pork ribs. It also complements spicy dishes, such as Moroccan lamb tagine, as well as smoky barbecue fare. Hard cheeses, such as aged cheddar or gouda, also make a great match, highlighting the wine's spice and fruit characteristics.
