2011 W.O. Western Cape Syrah
Du Plevaux Signature Shiraz from the Western Cape is a remarkable example of the expressive potential of Syrah. This red wine showcases a full-bodied structure complemented by its high acidity, which adds a vibrant lift to each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark berry flavors, particularly blackcurrant and plum, balanced beautifully with hints of spice and subtle earthy undertones. Its tannins are notable, providing a firm backbone that promises excellent aging potential while still being approachable in its youth. As a dry wine, it pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience. This 2011 vintage is a true testament to the terroir of the Western Cape, capturing the essence of the region's rich viticultural heritage.
