2022 Wild House Shiraz, Western Cape, South Africa

£9.75 inc. VAT

Ripe, spicy and very drinkable red from an exciting South Africa producer.

Grapes for this wine were carefully hand-harvested and sorted mostly from the Paarl area. There’s a small amount of Franschhoek fruit to the final blend to give it a bit of spice and ‘edge’. Naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks, 50% of this blend then undergoes malolactic fermentation in 300 and 600L French oak barrels (10% new)

A colour of deep garnet ruby of freshly squeezed Coastal Shiraz. It has a nose of really good summer pudding, cream and  a touch of Framboise. On the palate even more summer pudding, and a suggestion of dark chocolate and star anise. All this makes for a hugely positive expression of the Coastal Region’s more established Shiraz vineyards.

Top red for a barbecue!
