Description
The Shiraz 2018 – Stellenbosch is a bold yet graceful red that captures the essence of this renowned region. It opens with expressive floral aromas—lilies and violets—layered with white pepper and a subtle hint of olive. Dried flower notes in the background add aromatic depth.
On the palate, it’s rich but refined. Ripe blackberries and plums meet savoury spice, creating a balanced and flavourful experience. A portion of whole-bunch fermentation brings freshness and a chalky tannin texture. This adds structure and finesse while lifting the finish.
The wine’s earthy undertones and subtle spice linger long after the final sip. It pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, rosemary-infused beef, or wild mushroom risotto. Whether shared at dinner or aged for a few more years, it offers rewarding depth.
Crafted for those who appreciate elegant complexity, the Shiraz 2018 – Stellenbosch stands as a proud reflection of South African terroir—distinctive, expressive, and unforgettable.
