Reserve

Western Cape 98.5 % Shiraz, 1.5% Viognier

The Arabella Reserve is a captivating red blend hailing from the picturesque Western Cape region of South Africa. Dominated by Shiraz with a hint of Viognier, this wine showcases a remarkable full body that will delight any serious wine enthusiast. With bright, lively acidity and firm yet approachable tannins, it masterfully balances fruit-forward notes of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a hint of plum. The subtle addition of Viognier enhances the wine's aromatic profile, introducing delicate floral undertones and a whisper of apricot. This elegant craftsmanship has earned Arabella Reserve high acclaim, and it remains a testament to the exceptional quality that the Western Cape is renowned for in the wine world.

Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. 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.
