Le Rouge

2015 Swartland Shiraz, Cinsault

Terre Brulee Le Rouge is a remarkable red wine hailing from the Swartland region, renowned for its unique terroir and expressive varietals. This vintage, crafted from a blend of Shiraz and Cinsault, showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate. The acidity is bright, providing a refreshing lift that complements the wine's lush fruit intensity, marked by vibrant notes of dark berries and plum. Tannins are well-structured, adding depth and a hint of firmness, while the wine remains dry, allowing the fruit flavors to shine without overwhelming sweetness. Each sip offers an invitation to savor the complexity and richness that this exceptional wine has to offer.

Region:


Swartland

Swartland is one of South Africa's largest wine regions, famed for its mouthwatering Chenin Blancs, fragrant Syrahs and punchy Pinotage. Forty miles north of Cape Town, Swartland covers a large area from the Atlantic Ocean to the sun-kissed plains of Piketberg. The region has a hot, dry climate away from the cooling ocean, with ancient shale and granite-based soils. This forces the vines to work hard, producing small but concentrated grapes.
