THE GREAT BONZA "Reserve" - Shiraz Cabernet - South Eastern Australia
The Great Bonza - Shiraz Cabernet - South Eastern Australia
Bonza is an Australian expression that describes the feeling before you exclaim "hurray!". Something is bonza if it is superb and amazing, but at the same time laid back and relaxed. This wine is powerful and nuanced, with hints of black currant, black cherry, liquorice and coffee. Pairing suggestion: red wine casserole or a juicy steak with red onion jam.
Vintage in image may vary. Refer to wine facts for current vintage.
