Full yet fresh, with a seam of minerality
A colour of deep garnet ruby of freshly squeezed Coastal Shiraz. It has a nose of really good summer pudding, ripe black cherry, vanilla and even a touch of Framboise. On the palate more rich black fruits, a blob of proper crème fraiche with a suggestion of dark chocolate and star anise. Youthful acidity and ripe balanced tannins give a fresh finish with depth and complexity.
Wild House is a lifestyle range which reflects a place of raw energy, a weather-beaten hut exposed to the storm-swept slopes of the Cape's mountains. Inspired by the ever-shifting views of the landscape and weather from each aspect of the house, the wines are crafted to reflect the land.
Grapes for this wine were carefully hand-harvested and sorted mostly from the Paarl area. A small amount of Franschhoek fruit was added to the final blend to give it a bit of spice and ‘edge'. Naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks, 50% of this blend then undergoes malolactic fermentation in 300 and 600L French oak barrels (10% new).

This is a really versatile wine that works well with most meats, mushrooms dishes or just on its own.
