Mmie Shiraz

2010 Western Cape Syrah

The Mwitu Mmie Shiraz from the prestigious Western Cape region is a captivating expression of Syrah that showcases the area's unique terroir. This 2010 vintage is a beautifully deep red, exuding a rich bouquet of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, further intertwined with enticing notes of black pepper and subtle leather. On the palate, this wine offers a medium-bodied experience, perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity that lifts the flavors while preventing heaviness. Tantalizing tannins provide a firm structure, adding depth to the overall profile. With just the right touch of dryness, the Mwitu Mmie Shiraz is an elegant and food-friendly choice that pairs well with grilled meats and hearty dishes, making it an excellent addition to any gathering.

Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
