Shiraz

Our appealing maiden vintage of Shiraz is an elegant wine with a supple fruit and spice balance. The wine is made from selected vineyards on Vrede en Lust and is our single varietal red wine.

The grapes are picked by hand and the selected blocks are fermented separately and only at maturation are they blended.

Platter ***1/2

Available in under Stelvin, 750ml & 375ml.
