SHIRAZ 2015 WO Franschhoek |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ALLÉE BLEUE |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Complex, intense, very cedary, baked black cherry purée nose. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, spicy, very cedary, dense, plum-cherry purée flavours with a lingering, high acid finish. Quite delicious - try with game, perhaps roast duck. This 100% Shiraz was grown in a single estate vineyard and spent 14 months in barrel. It has 14.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L16235.

Recommended by Vintage Assessments! A Best Buy |
This wine was made from 100% Shiraz grown in a single estate vineyard and spent 14 months in barrel. The producer suggests pairing it with ostrich kebabs. If you don't happen to have ostrich on hand, grilled chicken thighs or duck will go nicely as well. TASTING NOTE: Unique light acidic flavor with plum taste.
