Smv

2013 Franschhoek Shiraz, Mourvedre, Viognier

The Lynx Smv from the enchanting Franschhoek region is a captivating red blend, bringing together the boldness of Shiraz, the earthiness of Mourvedre, and the aromatic touch of Viognier. This 2013 vintage showcases a medium-bodied profile, which is perfectly balanced by a pronounced acidity, lending a refreshing quality to the wine. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of dark berries and plums interwoven with subtle floral undertones. Tannins are notably structured, adding a firm backbone that enhances the wine's complexity. Its dry character enhances the overall richness, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own for a memorable experience.

Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
