Wow, the best Cape Heights Shiraz. This absolutely reflects the super fantastic 2015 vintage. It is proof of how far SA reds have come in the past 10 years. It’s fresh, vibrant, positively thrumming with sappy wiry fruit with a bright mineral palate, cranberry fruit and a long, essential finish.
Trellised and planted in the shale soils towards the North East parts of the Valley (bordering the Swartland Region). Produced from only free run juice and fermented on skins in stainless steel tanks. The ripe stems are left on the bunches to add to the overall tannin quality of the wine whilst whole bunch fermentation takes place. After a third of the sugar has fermented, delestage is done once per day. The wine is drawn off at the bottom of the tank and transferred into a separate tank. Once complete, it is then transferred back into the fermentation tank onto the skins and stems. This method ensures more air is incorporated into the wine which helps

"It's not always easy to capture the more fragrant aspects of the Syrah/Shiraz grape, but here winemaker Marinda Kruger-Van Eck has done just that in a wine"
