Shiraz is a variety chosen for its property of expressing a sense of place, and in this instance, vineyards surrounding Waterford in Stellenbosch. The wine is vinified and matured in old barriques to preserve the delicate aromas and structure of the wine. Each vintage is dedicated to one of the children from the Ord or Arnold families. Kevin has a great passion for this varietal and it has always been a personal favourite. Over the last 20 years, this wine has grown into an incredible brand with followers found throughout the world.
Grapes: 96% Shiraz, 4% Mourvèdre.
Lovely aromatics of strong violets, dark plum fruits and licorice. Layered into the aromatics, you will find subtle earthiness and leather spice notes. The palate is generous and rich with well textured and sturdy tannins which will add many years to the ageing ability. The wine finishes with a cooler feel than expected, with the ocean influence maintaining a great natural acidity.
Pairs well with lean red meats, such as venison, as well as a variety of earthy components.
