K1 Shiraz 2006
Shiraz is an extremely versatile variety that thrives in the cool, temperate climate of the Kuitpo Vineyard. This is demonstrated by the inky colour, rich flavours and smooth tannins of the K1 Shiraz.
The nose exhibits a bouquet of wild red berries, molasses and black pepper along with alluring allspice, cinnamon and cardamom.
The French and American oak provide the soft tannins and lend spiciness and a hint of vanilla to this wines profile. The wine finishes fresh and lively with harmonious acid giving superb balance and the ability to age gracefully.
To enjoy this wine at its full potential we suggest decanting before service.
