Protea Chenin Blanc 750ml

Experience the sophisticated profile of the Protea Shiraz 2022 750ml, a medium-bodied red wine that showcases the spicy elegance of the Western Cape. This vintage benefits from a wet winter and a cool ripening period, which allowed the grapes to develop exceptional fruit concentration. Consequently, you will discover a peppery edge to the plum and black fruit aromas on the nose. Furthermore, the entry to the palate is rounded and supple, mirroring the ripe berry notes promised by the bouquet. Because the winemakers used a gentle touch with oak, the texture remains soft and inviting without being overpowered. Every sip provides a harmonious blend of fruit and spice that concludes with a sustained, long tail.

Notably, the Protea Shiraz 2022 consistently earns high marks for its quality and drinkability. Additionally, it received a Double Gold medal at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge, highlighting its superior balance. To achieve this, the grapes fermented in temperature-controlled tanks before maturing for 12 months in old French oak. As a result, the wine maintains its vibrant fruit purity while gaining a subtle, complex depth. You can pair this moreish Shiraz with grilled lamb, venison, or even a rich mushroom risotto. Finally, the beautifully decorated bottle serves as a stunning permanent carafe once the wine is enjoyed.
