Savour a mouthful of ripe blackberries and plum with the
just released Grande Provence Shiraz 2010, a
full bodied red that holds the promise of an unforgettable tasting experience,
whether enjoying a glass at home or visiting this lush Franschhoek estate.
Winemaker Karl Lambour
notes that warm days and limited rainfall provided perfect growing conditions
for the 2010 crop, resulting in small berries of concentrated flavours. The
wine was oak matured for 15 months and flaunts a fruit forward character with
delicate white pepper nuances on the nose and palate, elegant soft tannins and
a luxurious finish.
“Our Shiraz is perfect
to enjoy now, but will also age beautifully for three to five years in the
cellar. It is a superb taste partner for smoked meats and charcuterie, game
dishes and red meat with an intense pepper sauce,” adds Karl.
The Grande Provence
Shiraz 2010 sells for R140 at the Grande Provence Tasting Room, and can also be
