Shiraz

Translated from Latin ‘gustus’ means ‘taste’ and this is what this wine is all about. Darling Cellars Gustus comes from specific vineyards which are selected for their uniqueness in prominent terroir flavours. Deep, dark coloured laterite soils from decomposed Granite in the Darling Hills. Micro climate positively influenced by the Atlantic with sunny days and cool evenings. Bush Vines, no irrigation. Yield 4-6 t/ha. This elegant and expressive fruit driven wine, exhibits hints of cloves, tobacco, Christmas cake and crushed black pepper. Ripe red cherries and mulberries as well as a hint of chocolate follow through to a well-structured and lengthy palate with fine grained tannins.

Pairs well with a beef casserole, braised pork neck, oxtail stew, bolognaise, Biltong & Bobotie (South African favourites!) or any venison dishes
