Product description
Silverboom Shiraz-Merlot is a characterful yet easy-drinking South African blend that combines the spiciness of Shiraz with the velvety softness of Merlot. The wine shows a deep ruby-red colour, with aromas of ripe red berries, black cherry and plum, complemented by subtle spicy and lightly vanilla notes.
On the palate it is medium-bodied, round and approachable, with fruitiness taking centre stage. The peppery, gently smoky tones typical of Shiraz nicely support the soft tannins and silky texture of Merlot. The finish is medium-long, fruity and well balanced.
Serving suggestions
Silverboom Shiraz-Merlot is a versatile choice for both casual and special occasions. It pairs well with grilled meats, spiced chicken dishes, pasta, pizza and semi-mature cheeses. The ideal serving temperature is 16–18 °C; serve slightly chilled to highlight its fresh, fruity aromas.
Occasions and target audience
