South Africa, Overberg
Shiraz
Description
Shiraz grows like it wants to fly away – especially on the precarious slopes of our windswept mountain. Hand-dug holes on the rockiest aspect of our estate keep these vines anchored in the bedrock of our dreams.
Eight nerve-racking years of patient vine husbandry slipped into memories and historical weather data before we excitedly welcomed an intense, but small crop into our winery.
A further two winters resting in barrel rewarded us with the essence of mother nature’s humbling power and magnificence. Cellared respectfully this wine will develop gracefully for at least two decades after harvest.
Enjoy.
