Description
"Stellenbosch's Bottelary ward is known for producing Shiraz with phenolic sweetness balanced by fresh acidity, and this wine is a great example: velvety yet vibrant, combining ripe fruit with hints of mocha, spice and woodsmoke."
Tasting Note
Smoky and spicy with sour-sweet cherry and raspberry fruit, layered with savoury charcuterie undertones and a pinch of white pepper. Not a robust blockbuster but elegantly restrained. Delicious with lean venison or ostrich.
In the Vineyard
From a trellised, dryland vineyard.
In the Cellar
The grapes were cold soaked prior to inoculation. The wine fermented for about four days, with pump-overs three times daily. After completing malolactic fermentation in tank, the wine was matured in French and American oak barrels.
