Audacia Rooibos Wooded Shiraz ohne Sulfite 2015

From the deep ruby red of the glass, the Audacia Rooibos Wooded Shiraz releases beguiling aromas of lush earthy fynbos vegetation, aromatic cloves and ripe cherries. On the palate, crisp, minty fruit notes caress the palate with fine hints of fynbos (South Africa's Cape has the world's highest concentration of different plant species, known as "Cape Floral Kingdom". The Cape Floral Kingdom is dominated by the Fynbos, which in Afrikaans means "fine bushes" :-) The finish is pleasantly soft and well rounded.

Years ago, the Audacia Winery in Stellenbosch began to question the oak monopoly in viticulture and experimented with native South African woods in the ageing of the wines. Today, years later, two South African companies have co-financed the worldwide patenting and Audacia has created a completely new category of wine. What exactly is it all about. Instead of oak, rooibos and honeybush wood is now used. Of course this results in a different, but definitely interesting taste profile. An enormous advantage, which only became clear in the course of the studies, is that the wood is full of stabilizing antioxidants which make it possible to do without added sulfites. The results are new exciting wines with their own taste profile without added sulphites.
