This really is the best of both worlds: classic, spicy peppery Shiraz , with layers of firm, ripe tannins and bound with abundant juicy, fruit. Our challenge each vintage is to accomplish balance; not easy in our sunny climate. This Shiraz has power and restraint, backbone and fruit. A combination of attributes representing precisely what the Cape can do best. |
“A dark, jammy Syrah, with notes of chocolate and prune weaving through the black cherry and cassis fruit. Nice texture, with violet and coffee bean notes on the finish.”
