Shiraz

"A moreish drop with heaps of blackberries, plum and cherry, with a touch of spice. Our Plato V Shiraz drinks well on its own and is good with red meats, curries and pasta."

"Nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was ever granted by the gods to man." Plato
The Ancient Greek philosopher Plato, born c. 428 BC, was a great lover of wine. Amongst his teachings sit 5 Constitutional Regimes - Oligarchy, Aristocracy, Tyranny, Democracy & Timocracy - all current themes today.
