About the wine
Sultry, soul-warming Reserve Shiraz straight from South Africa
- From the smoky oak to the intense blackberry, pepper and dark fruit vibes, Carmen's pure South African Shiraz is an all-out crowd pleaser.
- With your support, Carmen was able to harvest grapes from two distinct Shiraz vineyards in the Swartland region of South Africa. She fermented each block separately before she made the final blend - to capture all bold berry flavors she could muster!
- Shiraz is the kind of wine that can stand up to BIG flavors, so you can bust this one out with everything from your favorite 12” pepperoni, to a fiery Indian curry.
Best before
The Shiraz has all the attributes for aging; deep color, ripe tannin structure, a great acid balance and depth of fruit. The Shiraz has the ability to age for 3-5 years, in which time all the prominent primary fruit will turn to secondary, more mature fruit.
Serving advice
This wine needs to be decanted for a minimum of 30 minutes before enjoyment. The contact that the wine will have with the oxygen will bring all the trapped flavor to the fore while smoothing out the tannin and acidity.
Food match
Shiraz is one of the most forgiving wines in terms of food pairings. For me, a lovely BBQ lamb chop will complement all the elements of this wine beautifully.
