Sweet Shiraz

2009 Western Cape Shiraz

Jam Jar Sweet Shiraz from the Western Cape is a delightful red wine that captivates the senses with its rich, inviting character. This medium-bodied wine showcases an alluring balance of sweetness and acidity, making it incredibly approachable and food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of ripe blackberry and dark plum that dance across the palate. Its tannins are soft and integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel without overpowering the refreshing nature of this off-dry wine. The vibrant fruit flavors are complemented by a hint of spiciness, creating a harmonious blend that is perfect for both casual gatherings and relaxed evenings at home. Cheers to an exceptional vintage that beautifully expresses the essence of Shiraz!

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.
