Shiraz 2023

The wine has an inviting dense, ruby-red colour. Cascading aromas of white pepper, mixed spices, game meat, charcuterrie and Fynbos shrub are further complemented by aromatic scents of raspberry, blueberry and hedgerow fruits. The palate entry is utterly refined, with fine, granular tannins adding beautiful “behind-the-scenes” support for the bold black- and red fruit spectrum. The oak is well integrated and allows the fruit to take centre stage, and the wine has sufficient acidity to keep all the elements in check and in balance. The finish is decidedly dry, with persisting notes of raspberry tart, fruit pastilles and fine herbs.

Enjoy with lamb shank and osso buco.

AWARDS & RATINGS

• 4.5* (93 points) – Platter’s Guide 2026
• Gold – Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards 2025
• 93 points – Tim Atkin MW S.A. Report 2025 “Sourced from Agter-Paarl, close to the cooling influence of Durbanville, this is more of a Syrah than a Shiraz in style, meaning that it’s red rather than black fruited. Spicy, scented and enticing, it has a frame of older oak, cement and concrete eggs. Drink 2026 – 2031.”
