Paardeberg. The wine has a deep purple colour with flashes of scarlet. Ripe plum and mulberry aromas are uplifted with cherry blossom and violets. The palate is gentle and the tannins fresh but rounded. The aromatics continue into the palate with added blueberry, a hint of roasted black olives, and soft-spoken sweet spice. A versatile, medium-bodied wine, the Baldrick Shiraz will enhance many dishes and occasions. We recommend it with slow-cooked lamb, and mashed potato with caramelized onion gravy.
