Shiraz - our new & old world style combination

If you are looking for a stunning combination of old world style and new world style, a combination of forrest berries and spyciness or a stunner with a hint of chocolate then you end up choosing our wine, the Wedderwill Shiraz. Solely made from estate grapes on biologically treated vineyards this Shiraz packaged in a goundbreaking innovative square bottle is available for purchase at our website wedderwill.co.za.

Style: A rich and pepper-spiced fusion combine with soft savoury notes on the nose. Dark berries and violet with just a hint of organic earthiness is also subtly present. Black and white peppers carry through from the nose to a palate further enhanced by a game & ‘fynbos’ spice. The dark berries and violet become dark chocolate, achieved through a subtle, crafted blend of oak and tannins. A mineral follow through from the earthiness in the nose reflects the wine’s unique terroir. Altogether subtle, soft and round with good aging potential.

Origin:The Wedderwill Estate grapes for our Shiraz are selected from the Watersedge blocks and from the House block. These blocks, in clones of SH22B, 1A & 9C, were planted between 1999 and 2001, and are situated on top of the eastern Schaapenberg Ridge. The soils are deep and are made up of Oakleaf, Clovelly, Villafontes & Cartref, and the climate is primarily cooler temperatures with strong winds.
