Olivedale Respect for Nature Shiraz 2020

Sweet ripe fruity aromas of cherries, dark plum and cassis. On taste the elegant structure is supported by wood and white pepper flavour.

Time has yet no time set. Establishing this vineyard on the ancient rocky riverbed of the Breede River, dating back almost 14 milion years, was not an easy task, but with dedicated labour this wine resulted in a very terroir driven Shiraz. Constantly 50% lower night temperatures as during the day.

Harvested at optimum ripeness, this Shiraz was naturally fermented on its skin for 10days, left on its skin till malolactic fermentation was done and racked into 300lt French oak barrels for 12 months.

 Will compliment leaner red meat, stew, and mildly spicy ethnic foods.
