Shiraz 2019
Varieties
100% Shiraz
Winemaker’s notes
Wine of origin Western Cape (Franschhoek and Stellenbosch)
The Shiraz is a balanced and elegantly crafted wine, but yet still complex enough to keep your attention. It delivers dark fruit flavours of succulent ripe plums and cherry while combining with the classic white pepper and warm winter spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The wine also shows firm round tannins from spending 10 months in French oak.
