No.1 Willow Way

2012 Western Cape 95% Shiraz / 5% Mourvedre

Overhex Wines International No.1 Willow Way is a captivating red wine that showcases the bold and luscious character of Shiraz, complemented by a touch of Mourvedre. Hailing from the esteemed Western Cape region, this vintage exudes a deep ruby hue that hints at its richness. The wine presents a full-bodied experience, enveloping the palate with layers of dark fruit flavors, including ripe blackberries and plums, which are offset by subtle notes of spice and earthiness. Its well-balanced acidity adds vibrancy, ensuring a liveliness that enhances each sip. The tannins are notably firm, providing structure and depth, while the overall profile remains dry, allowing the fruit intensity to shine bright without overwhelming sweetness. This wine is a remarkable testament to the potential of the region, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for future exploration.
