Vinotéque Collection: Fairview Beacon Shiraz 2012
R450.00
“The 2012 vintage was characterized by a cold wet winter, mild spring and a warm hot summer without any significant heat wave conditions. This is crucial for this extreme bush vine site as the grapes are exposed, which could lead to unwanted sun burn. Strict hand sorting ensures a wine that is rich, layered and complex, without any unwanted overripe character.”- Anthony de Jager
Description
Intense dark red in colour. Very complex yet elegant nose with layers of black cherries, mixed spice and dark fruit. The palate is full-bodied, rich and smooth with lingering black fruit flavours which make it drinkable now or to be matured in the bottle for 10-12 years.
