Full-bodied dry red wine with concentrated berry, banana, cherry and fruit flavours with a spicy finish. Great with meat, pasta or spicy dishes.
In a small cellar in the Jonkershoek valley limited quantities of hand-picked grapes are personally vinified by Ettiene le Riche into red wines which reflect the nature of the fruit and the soil. These wines are oak-matured and after further maturation they will be quite superb.
This Shiraz was made from specially selected grapes from the year's ripe harvest.
All fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness and gently pressed to retain aroma and flavour. The wine was aged in small oak barrels, which added greater weight and complexity.
This full-bodied wine shows freshly crushed black pepper aromas with hints of cinnamon and cloves on the nose with lots of brumbly red berry fruit and well-integrated vanilla tones.
Internationally renowned winemaker, Beyers Truter made this full-bodied and complex wine that best represents the indigenous features of Pinotage. The blackberry and cassis flavours are well balanced with the French oak maturation character. It can be enjoyed now, but the richness will develop even further for up to fifteen years. Ideal with venison, red meat and spicy foods.
