Wine of Origin Coastal Region
Blend: Shiraz 100%
Grape source: 100% Coastal Region
Wine analysis: Alc 14.00% • RS 3.9g/l • TA 5.3g/l • pH 3.56
Winemaking techniques
A combination of trellised and bush-vine vineyards sourced from premium, un-irrigated Shiraz vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region. The grapes were hand-harvested at optimum ripeness and given a two day cold maceration. Fermentation took place over 5 days in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs. Just before dryness, the wine was pressed and put back into tank for malo-lactic fermentation. 100% of the wine was matured in 225L American oak barrels (8% new) for 12 months. Fined and filtered before bottling.
Wine description & food pairing
A distinctive, medium to full-bodied wine with a deep claret apprearance. Fragrant aromas of vanilla balanced by anise and earthy characters. The palate has mouth-filling sweet raspberry and plum flavours with gently integrated tannins. The American oak maturation contributes to the smooth, silky tannins. Equally rich meat dishes complement this wine such as slow-cooked lamb, oxtail or Cassoulet. Serve at a cool room temperature.
