Waterval Hoek Shiraz

SORRY THIS WINE IS NOW SOLD OUT

Originally from the Rhone, Shiraz is most at home in the New World, and today, this full-fruit varietal has spread its wings and is making a commotion in South Africa. ”South Africa’s reds are getting better with every vintage” writes Tim Atkin MW of The Observer. This is especially the case, as The FT Weekend writes, with Shiraz – ”arguably the hottest grape in the Cape… dead ringers for the powerful but fragrant Syrahs of the Rhone.” This blockbuster red is made at the state-of-the-art DGB cellar in Wellington by winemaker Jaco Potgeiter. Along with his winemaking team, Jaco selects only the very best vineyard sites across the Western Cape and sources the most perfectly ripened Shiraz grapes for Waterval Hoek.
