With Zandvliet and Shiraz there is a romance!” These words were spoken by the late Paulie de Wet in September 1979 with the launch of our now famous Zandvliet Shiraz. Since then, this love-affair has blossomed to include different Shiraz styles like the Kalkveld and the iconic Small Berry Pick. This was followed by a bright and dry Shiraz Rosé and now culminating in this special late-bottled parcel of Shiraz Port or Vintage Liqueur Wine.
