Winemaker and winery: Ian Nieuwoudt, Citrusdal Cellars.
Grape variety: 100% Shiraz.
Region: Citrusdal, Western Cape.
Viticulture/Vinification: The grapes are grown in high altitude vineyards on the slopes of the Citrusdal mountains. Cold maceration for 48 hours prior to tank fermentation. A small percentage of French and Hungarian oak was used.
Ripe, dark fruit on the nose. A pretty sweet wine. Young, plummy and full-bodied. A crowd pleaser, but too sweet for me.
