A medium-bodied, typical South African Shiraz. Beautifully balanced by layers of dark fruit and oak spice flavours, with a well-defined tannin structure, ensuring a lingering after-taste.
Seashell pink. Aromatics open with fresh strawberry, white peach, a hint of white cranberry, and the clean purity of wet stone - all carried by the transparent, ethereal fruit character of the Bottelary’s unique, light soils. On the palate, crunchy pink grapefruit and mixed berries lead to a core of deep raspberry and tangy acidity. Understated, with a stony texture and a pure, limpid structure; a fine thread of white pepper spice lifts and sculpts, leading to a bone-dry, precise finish.
The balance of the fresh citrus fruits and rich melon characters give the wine a full rounded palate that combines well with the subtle creaminess and nuttiness of the gentle oak. The natural acidity follows through to a fresh and clean finish.
