Lubanzi Shiraz

2023 South Africa Syrah

The Lubanzi Lubanzi Shiraz is an exquisite expression of Syrah hailing from the vibrant landscapes of South Africa. This captivating red wine showcases a full-bodied profile, delivering richness and depth on the palate. With bright acidity, it offers a refreshing lift, balancing out the fruit-forward characteristics. The wine tantalizes the senses with prominent dark fruit notes, including luscious blackberries and plums, intertwined with subtle hints of spice that add complexity. Tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure without overwhelming the wine, and the overall dryness makes it exceptionally food-friendly, pairing beautifully with grilled meats or hearty stews. This 2023 vintage reflects the exceptional terroir of its origin, making it a delightful choice for any wine lover.

South Africa
South Africa

With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.
