From deep garnet red in the glass, the Zonnebloem Shiraz exudes an intense bouquet of classic spices, black pepper and dark berry fruit. The palate is caressed by deliciously juicy nuances of ripe plums, which end in a spicy and long-lasting finish. A wonderfully spicy Shiraz of medium body, dark fruit and classic dry style.

The grapes from different vineyards were vinified separately. Each tank was subjected to an extended cold swelling phase of 3 - 5 days with subsequent fermentation at a regulated 26°C. After 10 - 12 days of fermentation, the wine was pressed from the skins after fermentation was completed and malolactic fermentation followed in barrels. The wine then matured in a combination of new and second filled barrels of French oak.
