Description

Elegant and seductive, engaging mélange of red fruit, fresh herbs, cigar box notes with a savory undertone, and a delightful interplay of graphite and perfume. Concentrated yet vibrant and refreshing with fine mineral grip and musky floral lift.

Concentration and elegance start the journey of this superior blend, which exudes refinement and sophistication. Extremely fresh and poised with notes of graphite, and a touch of floral notes that stand out on the plush palate.

Silky, fine and textured with impressive sophistication. Layered, lovely fruit, well balanced and understated. Handcrafted in a refined style, showing exceptional varietal character and the potential to age magnificently.
Leaf fall occurred later than usual which allowed good reserves to build up in the vines. The similarly delayed onset of Winter allowed for good cold unit accumulation. Rainfall was the lowest to date. Days were warm and nights cool. Budding occurred later and flowering was uniform. A dry, warm season resulted in compact berries with some supplementary irrigation necessary. A cooler February allowed for even ripening. An abundant vintage of exceptional quality. Maturation is 18 months in French oak barrels.

Uva Mira translates as "The Wonderful Grape". Uva is the Latin word for grape, Mira means wonderful, miraculous and full of charm. Uva Mira Mountain Vineyards is located within the area widely recognized as the “Golden Triangle,” renowned for its noble grape varieties and production of wines of outstanding quality.

Our Estate is 127 hectares in size - 33 hectares of which are under vine. Six varietals are grown, namely Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Our vineyards are positioned between 260 and 620 meters above sea level and only nine kilometers from False Bay. This creates the climate for wines that are by definition elegant in style.

Our fine wines are handcrafted using only grapes from the vineyard sites on our property, to truly express the unique traits of our remarkable site. Wines of elegance, minerality and longevity.
