  Deep ruby red in colour this Shiraz has aromas of plum and white pepper on the nose. The palate is well structured with excellent dense fruit, smoky spice and lovely toasty oak characters.
  
  Tasted in Club World aboard BA59 from London Heathrow to Cape Town.

  Deep ruby in colour this shiraz has aromas of jammy berry fruit, coffee and a hint of spice. The palate shows some good structure and balance with overtones of fresh lively fruit and a hint oak.

  The BA wine list reads "Established in 1823 in the Constantia region south of Capetown, Klein Constantia is one of South Africa's leading estates. Proximity to the ocean gives it a cool climate that is apparent in the clean, refreshing style of its wines. This has a lovely aroma of roasted coffee and rich plum while the flavour is toasty and rich with good balance and length."
