Displaying an intense violet-red hue, this Shiraz captures the essence of the Helderberg mountain terroir with inviting aromas of earthy berries, crushed violets, and ripe plums. On the palate, these rich flavors evolve with a refreshing elegance, offering a lighter, more refined experience than the aromatic intensity suggests. With a structure that supports both early enjoyment and long-term aging, this wine balances youthful vibrancy with the potential for remarkable maturity.
3rd year of drought in the Western Cape, becoming very noticeable in the natural mountain vegetation and low dam levels. Low winter rains but followed by near perfect growing conditions, moderate temperatures and lack of heat waves during harvest. Vineyards remained very healthy and produced lovely bunches, smaller than usual berries giving great concentration. Wines are extremely classical in style, with tight tannin structures and lovely acidities. Reds are going to be great talking points in the future.
