Shiraz

2010 Western Cape Syrah

Mwitu Shiraz, an exquisite expression of Syrah from the esteemed Western Cape, captivates with its deep crimson hue that hints at the vibrant flavors within. This wine boasts a full-bodied profile, delivering rich and lush textures that envelop the palate, while its high acidity adds a refreshing brightness and balance. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing bold notes of dark berries, plums, and subtle hints of spice, which elevate its complexity. Tannins are notable yet refined, providing a firm structure that supports the wine's opulence. As a dry wine, Mwitu Shiraz is both elegant and approachable, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes or savoring on its own. The 2010 vintage stands out with finesse, showcasing the exceptional terroir of the region and the artistry of winemaking.

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.
