FranschhoekCellarBakerStationShiraz750ml

<p>Tasting Note</p><p>Deep ruby with exuberant mulberry, plum, pepper and modest oak spice supported by soft ripe tannins that provide a well-structured and balanced juicy finish of pleasing length and finesse.</p><p>From vineyards that vary in age from 7 to 20 years. The vineyards are planted on varied soil types that lend specific nuances and characters to each block of grapes contributing to the complexity of the wine.</p><p>24 hours of cold maceration on the skins allowed maximum colour extraction to begin before the juice was inoculated with yeast and allowed to ferment at controlled temperatures. Pump-overs were alternated with punch downs at least 3 times daily, before 8 to 12 months of oak maturation. Finally the wine was blended, stabilised and bottled.</p><p> Best served at between 16°C and 18°C as a great match to spicy sausages, smoked meats, roast</p>
