Lomond Syrah 2008


Shiraz has always been a favourite for me. Spicy, peppery and smokey. This wine from Cape Agulhas in South Africa is no exception. Tonight we're having it with Pesto Pasta and chicken fried in pepper. Talk about bringing out the pepper taste in the wine. Along with lots of pepper it is also very spicy with hints of fruit. Lots of flavour in your mouth, especially with food.

The wine is well worth a try and not expensive at all at 89kr. Especially if you're a Shiraz fan.

Cape Agulhas is the most southern tip of Africa and the wines made in the area are heavily influenced by soils and climate in the area.
