Our appealing Shiraz is an elegant wine with a supple fruit and spice balance prompting the name change to Syrah.

The grapes are picked by hand and the selected blocks are fermented separately and only at maturation are they blended.

Personal Note: Syrah is the French word for Shiraz

in the vineyard : The Shiraz 2011 is made from Syrah grapes from our two farms, and showcases how two origins (Simonsberg-Paarl and Elgin) can harmonize in one beautiful wine, and showcases the best of both worlds!

about the harvest: The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness.

in the cellar : The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks. This vintage spent 16 months in oak, with a small percentage of American oak. This wine is bottled under stelvin and cork closure.
