Wine Expert Note:

This Riebeek Cellars Shiraz is a full-bodied, powerful red wine. Its nose is bursting with blackberry and cassis aromas, complemented by subtle hints of spice, tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is richly textured and juicy, with flavors of ripe blackberry, currant, and plum, balanced by a subtle earthiness and hints of pepper and clove. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant tannic structure that adds complexity. Enjoy this Shiraz with a hearty stew or barbecued meats.

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.
