The Constantia Uitsig Ex Oppido Red Horizon 2021 is a classic, spicy South African Shiraz. This wine showcases the cool-climate elegance of the Constantia Valley and surrounding premium areas. The winemakers age this red for twelve months in French oak barriques. This process provides a refined structure and subtle vanilla undertones. The 2021 vintage is known for its smooth, full-bodied profile without feeling heavy. It is a fantastic food wine that balances concentration and elegance perfectly. The wine is sourced from vineyards in Stellenbosch, Elgin, and Constantia.
- Reviewer Praise: Customers describe it as a “really good, smooth, easy drinking wine.”
- Vintage Notes: The 2021 vintage displays “all the right Shiraz notes but not overwhelming.”
The colour is a deep, dark ruby. The bouquet reveals freshly crushed black pepper, dark plums, and liquorice. Notes of vanilla and cedarwood add complexity. The palate is smooth and fruit-forward. Plum fruitiness takes centre stage on the palate. A well-integrated tannin structure supports the wine. Enjoy Constantia Uitsig Ex Oppido Red Horizon 2021 now through to 2027.
