A
red wine for a change. This is a Shiraz we liked enough to buy it in future,
tasted at the Shiraz Showcase last week. It was one of the Top 12 selected by
the judges.
Ripe
fruit makes it soft and juicy, spicy too and very, very satisfying. Soft
tannins and the wood beneath supporting the fruit make it a very well balanced
wine. Another to drink now or safely keep. It has won many awards: The 2014 was
awarded Gold in Decanter 2016; Double Gold Top 100 SA 2016; Gold Concours
Mondial de Bruxelles 2016. It costs R190 from the farm and should be available
from good wine merchants like Wine Concepts, Caroline's and Norman Goodfellows.
Retail prices may differ, but the petrol driving to Tulbagh will cost you more
