About this wine

The Maverick SMV combines predominantly Shiraz with Mourvèdre and a splash of Viognier from Paarl vineyards, delivering a rich, structured red with Mediterranean personality. Aromas of blackberries, plums, chocolate, rosemary and spice lead to a full-bodied palate where dark fruit, savoury notes and well-measured oak intertwine. Despite its power, lively acidity keeps the wine energetic, and Viognier adds lift and perfume.
