Sincerely

2013 Western Cape Shiraz

The Neil Ellis Sincerely Shiraz from the 2013 vintage is a remarkable expression of the Western Cape, showcasing the region's unique terroir. This red wine presents a full-bodied profile, offering a luscious mouthfeel that envelops the palate with its depth and complexity. The acidity is bright and lively, balancing the richness of the fruit while enhancing its freshness. The wine reveals a prominent intensity of dark fruit flavors, complemented by hints of spice and smokiness that reflect its judicious oak influence. The tannins are notable and structured, providing a firm backbone that supports the fruit while promising ageability. This dry wine makes for an exquisite pairing with hearty dishes, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a bold and sophisticated experience.

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.
