WINE DESCRIPTION
La Petite Ferme Shiraz is a rich and expressive wine that beautifully showcases the unique terroir of the Franschhoek Valley in South Africa. It opens with inviting aromas of dark berries, black plums, and ripe cherries, intertwined with hints of black pepper and subtle oak spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, offering layers of dark fruit flavors complemented by soft tannins and a well-balanced acidity. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering touch of chocolate and spice that makes this Shiraz a delightful choice for various dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
At La Petite Ferme, the winemaking process emphasizes a commitment to quality and authenticity.The Shiraz grapes are hand-harvested from meticulously tended vineyards, where sustainable practices ensure the health of the vines and fruit. After gentle crushing, fermentation occurs in small open tanks, allowing for optimal extraction of color and flavor. The wine is then aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels, enhancing its complexity while preserving the vibrant fruit character. This careful approach results in a Shiraz that is both bold and elegant, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for additional development.
