Tasting Note
Rich & voluptuous aromas, lush layers of dark fruit & milk chocolate. Decadent ripe plum & a hint of black pepper on the palate.
Food Pairing
All you really need for this wine is a magnificent view and an African sunset. Preferably in the bush, with the smell of wood fire smoke, baked red earth, crushed dried grass and the roar of a territorial lion in the distance.
Winemaking
Shiraz grows like it wants to fly away especially on the precarious slopes of our windswept mountain in the Overberg Highlands. This is a registered 0.45ha single vineyard wine, planted in shattered slate and granitic rock at an altitude of 420m above sea level.
Picked at optimal phenological ripeness; gently destemmed to open top fermenters; 15% whole clusters; natural ferment with no added yeast or enzymes; gently hand plunged 4-6 times per day; pressed with a traditional basket press directly to barrel for aging; 18months in American and French oak barrels; 2 rackings prior to bottling.

Light & easy on the palmate. Strong taste of vanilla & dark fruit
Fantastic Shiraz, complex, extremely well balanced, full bodied and despite its 15% alcohol not overpowering. Almost black in color, ripe black fruit like dark cherry, plum, tobacco, oak, leather, earthy, pepper. Integrated tannins, soft tannins and a long aftertaste. Needs some time to breathe.
[2017] As good as it gets for this single vineyard Shiraz from own grapes at The Drift. The perfect complement to braised lamb neck.
Beautifully clean. Pale red. Charming fragrances. Complex notes.
Caramel with coffee and a hints of vanilla chocolate! Plum and red berries also surface. This wine needs to be tasted to be appreciated! Another winner
"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "
- Terry Wharton Hood -
Great wine at a great time, everytime
