Shiraz & Rhone Varietal based Red Blends

The region of Darling has been synonymous with the production of grain since the earliest settlers some 300 years ago. Nowadays vineyards are planted alongside golden wheat fields and whilst the grapes from these vineyards are bringing in the accolades, the old silos which still dot the landscape remind us of our farming heritage. A blend of Shiraz and Pinotage, this wine distinctly reflects Darling’s diversity and pays tribute to that heritage. The grapes were harvested from dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, where the vines are not trellised and planted as bush vines on deep red oak leaf soils. Aged for 22 months in 300 liter French and American oak barrels. A wine big in structure, soft in tannin and loaded with spicy, red berry, cigar box and red plum flavours with a long aftertaste and well-integrated oak nuances

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