Anthonij Rupert Protea Shiraz

The grapes for the Protea Shiraz come from vineyards located in the Darling region in South Africa where the soils consist mainly of sand and clay. These soils provide ideal growth conditions for the Shiraz grapes. The wine is an intense dark red in colour. It has a wonderful bouquet with aromas of ripe plums, black cherries, spices and dark soil. Complemented by a delicate note of smoke, these aromas continue unabated on the palate. The taste of the Protea Shiraz recalls bilberries, plums, cloves, anise and fine fire clay. The wine has soft and juicy tannins, giving it good concentration and length, with a soft and accessible structure.

The Protea Shiraz is an excellent accompaniment to various dishes, beautifully complementing savoury pastries, cold cuts or ham.

The vineyards are situated on the south-eastern slopes of the Kastelberg Mountains in the wine-growing region of Swartland.The wine is a deep red in the glass with a garnet-red rim. Its bouquet is redolent of plums, blackberries and black pepper, along with subtle nuances of tobacco. Due to its 15 months of ageing in small wooden casks, the Allesverloren Shiraz is full-bodied on the palate, showing spicy wood aromas. A balanced tannin structure as well as rich fruit aromas make this wine a genuine taste experience.Enjoy the Allesverloren Shiraz with veal or hearty poultry dishes.

Spier Signature Shiraz
Of all the plantet grapes in South Africa, the shiraz, or syrah, as the French call him, is without a doubt one of the most successful. It has everything to do with the ideal climate of the Cape for this grape. Warm but not too hot, with a good cooling in the afternoon, which seems a bit like the Rhone region, where this wonderful grape originated. By a short fermentation process at low temperature it gets a strong character, with delicious fruit. Two thirds of the wine then matures about six to eight months in a mix of French and American oak, which makes it well rounded and gets it some extra complexity. That is why wood and fruit remain so perfectly balanced.
