Wine of the Month
Our Wine Expert Kevin O’Callaghan gives us his top picks for the month
Boschendal The Pavillion Shiraz/Viognier
What? A Red and white grape together I hear you say! Absolutely with the split being approximately 80% Shiraz to 20% Viognier made fashionable from the great wines north of the Rhone. South African Shiraz can be a bit rambunctious when young and the addition of the Viognier lifts and softens the nose with a touch of floral notes while given the wine some delicateness which makes it a perfect marriage. A seductive blend characterized by pronounced and sumptuous dark red fruit on the nose, with a hint of spice followed by classic peppery notes on the palate. The Viognier lends a touch of tropical fruit to a wine that has a long rounded finish. Enjoy with Tomato-based sauces, Pasta dishes and Red meats.
