More spicy food calls for more spicy wine in this Shiraz, except that this wine is oh so smooth. Take white pepper and mix it with chocolate and vanilla and you'll get the picture. Full bodied with that typical spicy aroma you can expect from a Shiraz.The wine is from the Five Ashes Vineyard at Karridale, Margaret River's southern most wine district. That's Australia for those that didn't know. The crest is the Welsh wyvern, and the motto, Esse Quam Videri, means to be, rather than seem to be. So true in today's wine world, where you can buy something and get something completely different. This wine however, delivers what it promises, classical Shiraz characteristics.
The food for tonight to go with this wine is spicy chicken skewers and butternut.
