Product information "Zandvliet Kalkveld Shiraz 2015"
In the glass, the Zandvliet Kalkveld Shiraz presents itself as a dark ruby red and pampers the nose with deliciously complex aromas of ripe plums and prunes, fragrant violets and dark chocolate. These fruity aromas also unfold on the full-bodied palate, combined with subtle wood tones and nuances of ripe plums, cigar box and chocolate. The finish is smooth and soft and lingers long after the last sip.

The grapes for this first-class Shiraz were crushed and first subjected to a three-day cold swelling phase at a controlled 10°C before fermentation began at a controlled 25 - 30°C. The malolactic fermentation took place at 18°C. Once fermentation was completed, the wine was aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels.
