The Stellenrust Shiraz pampers the senses with nuances of white pepper, raspberry and biltong (dried meat) as well as soft and dark undertones, which wonderfully emphasize the ripe and fruity tannins and the subtle pepper tones. Its wonderful bouquet is perfectly completed by fine notes of fragrant violets and the fresh play of acids.

The grapes for Stellenrust Shiraz were first crushed on arrival at the winery and subjected to a 24-48 hour cold swelling phase. It was then mixed with French Rhône yeast and fermented on the skins for 8 days, after which the wine was drained off the skins and fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks. The malolactic fermentation was partially completed in the barrel. The wine was matured for 12 months in 90% French oak, 5% American oak and 5% Hungarian oak.
