Shiraz

2003 Western Cape Syrah

The Mulderbosch Shiraz from the 2003 vintage showcases the exemplary characteristics of Syrah grown in the renowned Western Cape region. This wine presents a deep, inviting red hue that hints at its robust nature. On the nose, it bursts with prominent notes of dark fruit, complemented by subtle undertones of black pepper and spice, creating an enticing aromatic profile. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and well-structured, with noticeable tannins that add depth and complexity to the experience. Its acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the wine's refreshing quality while ensuring a delightful balance. As a dry wine, the Mulderbosch Shiraz is wonderfully versatile, making it an excellent companion for a variety of hearty dishes or as a standalone pleasure for any occasion.

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.
