SPECIES
100% Shiraz
HABITAT
Grapes are sourced from the diverse macro-climates of the Western Cape ranging from the long-lingering sunny days of our Southern slopes to the cooler areas with West Coast ocean breezes. Hand-harvested at 24°B during March and early April.
GESTATION
Fermented on the skins for 7 days at 24 – 28°C with three aerations per day. After pressing, the young wine is matured on oak where malolactic fermentation is completed. The wine is left on the staves for a further 3 months. A very light filtration before bottling ensures the conservation of intrinsic cultivar traits.
CHARACTER
Dense ruby with a bright strawberry rim bursting with sumptuous blue and blackberry aromas and flavours integrated with peppery high notes that end gently with succulent fruit intrigue.
FOR YOUR DRINKING PLEASURE
Smooth and fruity for easy enjoyment immediately or within 3 years of vintage. The perfect fireside sipping red or great with roasts, stews, BBQ steak, spicy sausage or sticky ribs.
