Fish Hoek Fairtrade Shiraz 2020

Ripe, juicy, red fruit with subtle vanilla and pepper aromas. The nose follows through to the palate for a perfect long finish of optimum fruit and beautifully integrated wood tannin.

Goes superbly with grilled steak or game.

Fish Hoek is a little settlement just outside of Cape Town on the False Bay coast. It is blessed with a breath taking beach, where the waves break for the first time in their previously unhindered journey from the Antarctic. Backed by Table Mountain, the locals enjoy the outdoors as a way of life - it is this spirit that we hope to capture in this wine.

in the cellar : The grapes are from the vineyards of the Breedkloof region. The grapes were harvested at an average of 25°B, de-stemmed and crushed to stainless steel fermenters where it had 2 days of skin contact before it was fermented. Fermentation took place between 25-27 °C on the skins till dry with soft pump overs every 4 hours. After alcoholic and malolactic fermentation a combination of American and French oak staves were used to give this wine it unique flavor profile.
