This wine is made from grapes from our Riebeeks Rivier farm in the Swartland . The farm is situated on the slopes of the Riebeek kasteel mountains on the Malmesbury side with our vineyards on Southern and Western slopes. The wine is from the Western slopes where there is more Schale in the soil . The combination of slope and soil , culminates into this feminine and layered wine with lots of vibrancy and red fruit style red blend. These grapes are hand- sorted and fermented, they are barrel aged in 2nd and 3rd fill 225L barrels for 12 \u2013 14 months. Then bottle aged for 3 years. This wine is a blend which consists mostly out of Shiraz, and other varietals from this slope includes Grenache and Carignan. These vineyards produce a small bunch with consentrated flavours and delicate yet firm structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Appealing aromas of spicy fruitcake, black cherry, blackcurrant and cedar. A nuanced, layered and silky textured palate which abounds with richly ripe black fruits – cherry, blackcurrant, cassis – tempered by harmonious oak which is superbly integrated, making for a harmonious whole. ere are cigar-box and spice notes apparent too, along with an inky depth of flavour. Overall, it’s a rened and elegant wine with silky tannins, a plush opulence and a long, lingering aftertaste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","inline_featured_image":false},"product_cat":[127,125,106,85,105,124,112,159,155,157,150,164],"product_tag":[185],"food-pairing":[383],"region":[224,224,224,224,224],"class_list":["post-5400","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_brand-anthonij-rupert","product_brand-cape-of-good-hope-anthonij-rupert","product_cat-blend-carignan","product_cat-blend-grenache-noir","product_cat-blend-mourvedre","product_cat-red","product_cat-blends-shiraz","product_cat-blend-viognier","product_cat-white","product_cat-carignan","product_cat-grenache-noir","product_cat-mourvedre","product_cat-shiraz","product_cat-viognier","product_tag-blend","product_shipping_class-standard","pa_style-dry","pa_vintage-498","food-pairing-game-birds-vad-szarnyasok","region-swartland"],"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundled_by":["5790","5791"],"bundled_items":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5400"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5400"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5400"},{"taxonomy":"food-pairing","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/food-pairing?post=5400"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodandwine.overace.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=5400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
