Eden Lodge Reserve Collection Shiraz (75 cl), €8.59

Paarl is renowned for its scenic beauty, viticulture and fruit growing. Situated 60km north east of Capetown, it is an extremely important wine region in South Africa. Paarl enjoys a warm climate with a Mediterranean influence and has a mix of sandy, granite and shale soils. These factors coupled with the aspect of the Simonsberg Mountain provide great growing conditions for the Shiraz grape. This results in wines of great individuality and character. Our Eden Lodge Paarl Shiraz is full and powerful packed with rich blackberry flavours along with spice, plum and eucalyptus. A wonderful acompliment to hearty beef dishes.

Niel Joubert Cabernet Sauvignon (75 cl), €8.59

Niel Joubert Cabernet Sauvignon has ripe berry fruit on the nose with hints of pepper and spice. Round and smooth across the palate with a good balance of autumnal fruit, spice and hints of chocolate. A well-balanced wine with a long finish. A great match for steak, stews and pasta dishes but just as good on its own! Niel Joubert
