ABOUT THIS WINE
Grape varietals: | 82% Shiraz, 18% Grenache |
Tasting notes: | A luscious lifestyle wine with plums, blackberries, and pepper spice. A juicy palate of dark fruit with soft pliable tannins, supported by subtle oak spice. |
Food pairings: | Our favourite combinations include lamb chops braaied to perfection, or sweet & sticky pork ribs. |
Vineyards and harvest: | The grapes for this blend originate from prime vineyard sites that face South westerly and westerly ranging in altitude from 100m – 200m above sea level. The vines are trellised on a seven-wire hedge system that allows for containment of the sometimes-vigorous growth habits of the Shiraz and Grenache varieties. Pruned to two-bud spurs, allowing for 16-18 bearers per running metre. The sub-soil retains essential moisture with gravelly, granite derived topsoil allowing for effective drainage. |
Vinification: | We aimed for soft tannins and ripe dark fruits and used 500L seasoned French oak barrels to mature this wine for 12 months and to add to the complexity. |
