Stellenzicht Golden Triangle Shiraz (2005)

Wine tasting 5

This is a multiple award winning wine in South Africa. Double-gold Veritas and the Wine Magazine gold winner. I really enjoyed it, but not more than say the Allesverloren Syrah we had on the same night. Don't get me wrong though, in a tasting of just Shiraz wines, this wine will score in the top ten every time. It's really worth a try, to see what South African award winning wines taste like. Here's a list of all the other wines that also scored double gold in 2008, as well as a link to the Veritas website, so you can see how the wines were judged.
