Provenance Shiraz - Saronsberg

IN BRIEF

📍 Tulbagh · Shiraz 100%
Full-bodied, spicy, and velvety red wine
Aged in French oak for 18 months

Why we like it

A rich and enveloping South African Shiraz, produced by Saronsberg in the Tulbagh area. It combines ripe fruit, spice, and structure, while maintaining soft tannins and a silky finish.

Wine Profile

Red fruits, black fruits, floral notes, and hints of fynbos emerge on the nose and palate. The sip is full, soft, and intense, with good depth and an elegant finish.

Food Pairings

Ideal with grilled meats, roasts, game, spicy dishes, and aged cheeses.

Serving Suggestions

Serve at 16–18°C, in a large glass. May benefit from a few minutes of aeration before serving.

Tulbagh

In the vineyard

Shiraz grapes are hand-picked in the early morning from vineyards with an average age of about 10 years. Soils include structured red and yellow clays with coarse gravel, well-drained sandy-loam soils with high stone content, and some partially weathered schist components. Average yield is 6.8 tonnes per hectare.

In the cellar

The grapes were cooled to 4°C, destemmed, and then sorted berry by berry. Approximately 75% of the berries were gently crushed, while the remainder were kept whole. After a 3-day cold maceration at 9°C, fermentation occurred with regular punch-downs and pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation took place in 300-liter French barriques, with 30% new oak and 70% second and third passage. Total aging: 18 months in French oak.
