WINE DESCRIPTION
Fleur du Cap Shiraz is a fruit-forward red wine that showcases the sun-drenched land of South Africa. This wine is crafted exlusively from Shiraz grapes. Depending on the vintage the fruit may come from Stellenbosch, or from the wider Western Cape area. Winemaking focuses on producing an easy drinking style without heavy extraction. The end result is a supple boldly flavored wine with subtle oak complexity. This is a good wine for BBQ and other slow cooked foods.
