Description

This Paarl Shiraz offers a medium to full-bodied experience with remarkable elegance and precision. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while the palate unfolds layers of peppercorn, dusty cherry, and subtle earthiness. The wine's flavors transition seamlessly into a lively, spice-infused finish, delivering both complexity and balance.

Perfect for pairing with grilled meats or savory dishes, this Shiraz captures the essence of Paarl’s terroir with a sophisticated yet approachable style.
Oogwink, our 100% Shiraz, translates to “in the blink of an eye”. Matured for 12 months in French oak barrels (20% new oak) and a cement egg.
