| TASTING NOTE: This 100% Shiraz was hand-harvested from prime sites in the Stellenbosch, Elgin and Swartland regions. It was aged for 14 months in 30% new barrels. The resulting wine has a fine structure with well-integrated tannins that add some grip. Balanced and spicy with rich red and black fruit atop the pepper notes and a long, dusty finish. A good choice for beef goulash. (Vintages panel, June 2017) |
