2004 Shiraz
Dixon's Peak

Only the finest full ripe grapes were hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard before being gently de-stemmed and crushed. The grapes were cold macerated for a week to extract the flavours from the skins. Matured with French oak and American oak staves for 4 months, the wine was then blended with 7% Cabernet Sauvignon of the same vintage.

Purple red in colour, this wine has a complex array of aromas of ripe plums and spicy notes of white pepper rounded with peppermint crisp chocolate flavours. “Fynbos” (garrigue), character of “tolbos” (indigenous flora) and liquorice in the after-taste best illustrates the terroir. The most distinguishing attributes of this wine are a soft entry and long lingering after-taste.
Serve and enjoy with light fresh foods like pastas and salads or meat dishes. This wine is a perfect fit for the health-conscious wine lover.
