Known to never take sides, she plays a leading role in family matters and get togethers. She needs no reason to treat, entertain and spoil, and absolutely loves dressing up, no matter what the occasion…
A modern Shiraz with a fresh approach. A combination of whole bunch (clus-
ter) fermentation (50%) and the more traditional crushed and destemmed (50%) component, captures the cooler nuances of the site, expressed in fresh fruit, pin-point tension on the palate and drinkability. The 12% Mourvedre blended with the Shiraz brings a warmth and finishing touch to this wine. We finalise the blend before the wine goes into French oak (Foudres - 6000L wooden). This ensures a beautiful “marriage” between the different varietals over a 24 month period in oak. Post bottling, we then cellar the wine for a further 3-6 months before the wine is released onto the market. Our aim is to create a wine that showcases fresh red/purple fruit such as mulberries; savoury notes; fynbos and sweet spice (rosemary, thyme, cinnamon). On the palate this wine presents a generous offering from entrance to finish; supple and full without over-saturating the palate with tannin; persistent with good length. The wine has a healthy core, coiled up and waiting to be released over time, whether it be in your cellar, your decanter, or your glass. These wines will age for 7 years and beyond, provided stored under optimum conditions.
