Bon Courage Inkarà Shiraz 2006

2008 International Wine Challenge - Commended
Jacques Bruwer, the winemaker initiated a flagship range, called Inkará. Inkará is a play on his children's names (Inge, Karli and André) and it pays tribute to the fourth generation of Bruwer’s on the Estate. Since its launch in 2001, this premium range has proven to produce excellent wines. These wines are produced only from single vineyards. Both the Inkará Shiraz and Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon have been recognized for their superior quality.
Complex amalgam red berried fruit, chocolate, espresso, mulberry with sweet spice and smoky oak. Wafts of Karoo bos penetrate all other aromas. Silky textured pallet with supple tannins and lots of horsepower.
