Tierhoek Red Blend 2021

Tierhoek Red Blend is crafted from grapes grown in the rugged, mountainous terrain of the Piekenierskloof region in South Africa. This area benefits from a Mediterranean climate with cooling breezes that preserve acidity and enhance the wine's structure. The blend typically includes varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, which are fermented separately in stainless steel to maintain varietal purity before being aged in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels. This process imparts subtle spice and complexity, resulting in a medium-bodied wine with balanced fruit expression and a smooth finish, ideal for immediate enjoyment or short-term aging.
