Shiraz 2022 - Simonsig

Mr Borio's Shiraz - Simonsig Wine Estate

Alessandro Borio, a former prisoner of war, found a home in South Africa and befriended the Malan family. A master bricklayer, he built the first concrete wine tanks in Simonsig, still used today to produce this prized Shiraz.

This Shiraz displays an intense, dark crimson color with aromas of violet and blackberry , combining floral elegance and fruity richness. Vibrant flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and plum emerge on the palate, supported by soft tannins that ensure structure and finesse. Balanced and expressive, it offers a harmonious blend of bold fruit and an elegant structure, with a soft, lingering finish.
