The inky, dark purple colour of this wine is the first indication of its magnitude. The nose is opulent with a jewel box of vibrant red and black fruit aromas, including plump black cherries, raspberries and hints of prune compote, mingling with red roses and purple violets. The perfumed nose of this wine is created by the tiniest berries grown on a geographical fault line in the vineyard. The intensity of this wine will draw you back again and again as layer upon layer of aromas and flavours unfold on your palate with each visit, creating a lasting memory of this exquisite Shiraz. This wine deserves to be cellared for a good few years to allow the secondary and tertiary flavours to evolve. If you cannot resist temptation, decant the wine a few hours before serving.
Big bold flavours are the perfect match for our Teen die Hoog Shiraz. Pair it with duck and cherry pie, coq au vin or a rich cassoulet. Bring on the bœuf bourguignon or vegetable stir-fry with chopped cashew nuts. It will also be sublime with a simple grilled rib-eye steak.
