Wine Expert Note:

This Boekenhoutskloof The Wolftrap Red Blend is an intriguing South African blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Viognier. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark berry fruits and plums are complemented by subtle notes of white pepper, sweet tobacco and a hint of violets. The palate is full-bodied and smooth with juicy tannins and a long finish. Flavors of ripe berries and spices linger on the palate. This is an excellent example of South African winemaking, with a perfect balance of fruit and structure.

Villiera Down to Earth Red is a captivating blend of Touriga Nacional and Shiraz grapes, crafted in the Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa. After picking, destemming and lightly crushing the grapes, the wine is vinified with the aim of gentle extraction, to create a soft, fruity red that is approachable on release. The wine is aged for a short period in oak to soften the tannins and round out the mouthfeel. Both varieties come together to create a seamless blend, with Shiraz offering flavors of dark berries and spice, whilst Touriga Nacional provides robust tannins and floral notes.
