Wine Review: Rockridge Shiraz

Rockridge Shiraz
Grape: Shiraz
Country: South Africa

This wine is not easy to find on the internet, because people (and Google) always confuse it with Rockridge Estate Shiraz Cellar Selection from Australia. I was surprised to see that the Vivino app and web site classified this wine as Australian. It is clearly visible on the label "WINE OF SOUTH AFRICA". So specify that you need Rockridge from South Africa if you want to find this fruity and easy drinking wine. 
In aromas there are rape black berries, plum and a bit of chocolate.

In palate there are lots of black fruits, some black pepper taste and oaky flavours. 

It's complex, full body wine with medium to long finish.

Food pairing: spicy meat dishes, grilled meat, tomato and spicy sauce pasta,  full body cheeses.

I had it with Thai cuisine and grilled seafood.

I couldn't find supplier of this wine in UAE. But I had it in Beachcombers Restaurant in Jumeirah Beach Hotel  https://www.jumeirah.com/en/hotels-resorts/dubai/jumeirah-beach-hotel/restaurants/beachcombers/
