Tasting Note

Rich & voluptuous aromas, lush layers of dark fruit & milk chocolate. Decadent ripe plum & a hint of black pepper on the palate.

Food Pairing

All you really need for this wine is a magnificent view and an African sunset. Preferably in the bush, with the smell of wood fire smoke, baked red earth, crushed dried grass and the roar of a territorial lion in the distance.

Winemaking

Shiraz grows like it wants to fly away especially on the precarious slopes of our windswept mountain in the Overberg Highlands. This is a registered 0.45ha single vineyard wine, planted in shattered slate and granitic rock at an altitude of 420m above sea level.

Picked at optimal phenological ripeness; gently destemmed to open top fermenters; 15% whole clusters; natural ferment with no added yeast or enzymes; gently hand plunged 4-6 times per day; pressed with a traditional basket press directly to barrel for aging; 18months in American and French oak barrels; 2 rackings prior to bottling.

Light & easy

Light & easy on the palmate. Strong taste of vanilla & dark fruit

Extremely well balanced

Fantastic Shiraz, complex, extremely well balanced, full bodied and despite its 15% alcohol not overpowering. Almost black in color, ripe black fruit like dark cherry, plum, tobacco, oak, leather, earthy, pepper. Integrated tannins, soft tannins and a long aftertaste. Needs some time to breathe.

As good as it gets

[2017] As good as it gets for this single vineyard Shiraz from own grapes at The Drift. The perfect complement to braised lamb neck.

"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "
