Fairhills Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon

🏷️ Summary

A rich, value-driven South African red blend from the Western Cape, Fairhills Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon brings together bold fruit, soft tannins, and a touch of spice—ideal for everyday enjoyment.

🍇 Tasting Notes

Deep garnet in colour, this blend opens with aromas of ripe dark cherries, blackberries, and sweet spice from the Shiraz component. The Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and a hint of cassis and cedar. The palate is smooth and well-rounded—medium-bodied with juicy dark fruit, soft tannins and a pleasantly lingering finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing

Fantastic with grilled steak, lamb chops, barbecue fare, hearty pasta dishes with rich sauces, and mature hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C and decant for 20 minutes if young, to boost its aromas.
