Fram Shiraz 2024

Fram Shiraz is a medium to full-bodied wine from South Africa's Swartland region. It features rich, fruity flavors with notes of red fruits, black currants, and spices. While some appreciate its balanced acidity and smooth finish, others find the tannins a bit astringent. The wine's herbal and spicy undertones add complexity, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.

The 2021 Fram Shiraz presents a deep ruby hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. On the nose, it reveals an intricate bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and a hint of cracked black pepper, underscored by subtle notes of flintd meat and violets. The palate is robust and full-bodied, with velvety tannins providing a firm structure. Layers of dark chocolate and espresso intertwine with a vibrant acidity, creating a harmonious balance. The finish is long and savory, with lingering nuances of graphite and a touch of earthy minerality. This Shiraz exemplifies the bold, expressive style of South African reds.
