NZD$39.00
Notes of violets and black pepper with bright red fruit. A focused and accessible palate defines this very attractive and concentrated Shiraz.
Vines planted in 2001 on weathered granite soils. Yields of 4-6 tons per hectare.
From one of the highest -ying vineyards on Kaapzicht, at 320m above sea-level, these grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed. Whole-berry fermentation takes place. After gentle pressing the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is racked to 300l barrels to age for 16 months.
