Co-Op Fairtrade Shiraz 2014, from South Africa - Wine Review

As the Co-op is our local supermarket, within walking distance of our house, we buy quite a lot of wine from there.
This 2014 Fairtrade Shiraz from South Africa was one such purchase.

We really enjoyed this wine, it had a lovely aroma of ripe red berries, and on the palate there were blueberries, raspberries, bramble, and an interesting tang of coffee beans. 
A very nice wine, which we'd definitely purchase again.

Fairtrade Shiraz, Co-Op. South African wine. Red wine. Wine.

From the label -
Situated in one of the most magnificent wine locations in the world, nestling against the slopes of the Groenberg in the shadow of the Limiet Mountains near Wellington, South Africa, lies Bosman Family Vineyards. As part of a unique project supported by The Co-Operative, this wine ensures the workers from these vineyards receive a better deal, including the Fairtrade Premium to invest in projects which benefit them and the local community. This full and well-balanced wine has beautiful expression of raspberries, blackberries, and spice, with fine tannins, wonderfully complemented by robust meat dishes and succulent stews. 14.0% Vol.
