This maiden release of Zorgvliet Shiraz is one of the estate’s flagship wines.
The nose shows ripe mulberry, violet and floral notes that are integrated with mocha flavours. The nose follows through on the palate with a refreshing acidity and roasted coffee beans and chocolate on the finish. This wine comes from coffee stone soil on the valley floor of the Banhoek Valley and is unique to its soil type and origin.
