Diemersfontein Shiraz – Stellenbosch – Red – 2023:

 

The Diemersfontein Shiraz: Wellington’s Finest Red Wine

The Diemersfontein Shiraz Red stands as a benchmark for premium South African Shiraz. Hailing from the lauded Wellington region, this wine captures the intense sunshine and unique soil characteristics, resulting in a perfectly balanced, full-bodied red. Aged for 12 months in oak, it delivers both immediate pleasure and significant cellaring potential, making it a stellar addition to any cellar.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A concentrated, dark crimson hue.
• Aroma: Seductive and complex, offering a core of deep black fruit (cherry, blueberry), complemented by elegant spice notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and a savoury touch of leather and black pepper.
• Taste: Velvety and powerful on the palate. Expect concentrated fruit flavours, a full-bodied structure, and fine, polished tannins that carry the wine through a long, spicy finish.

Food Matching & Service
