Composure 2020 Shiraz Western Cape, South Africa

Description

Our Composure Shiraz illustrates the elements of South Africa’s Western Cape as they work in unity to create this grape’s cherished New World style. Rich black fruit flavors intermingle with savory notes and signature spice for an intricate composition deserving of a special occasion. As South Africa’s largest growing region, the Western Cape benefits from numerous natural factors that make it perfectly suited to grape growing. A Mediterranean climate provides inland areas with warm, temperate conditions during a long growing season, while brisk local winds and cold ocean currents create cool conditions along the coast. This allows grapes throughout the region to strike a perfect balance of flavor development and texture without losing their more delicate varietal characteristics. Our Shiraz comes from vineyards within the hotter areas of the Western Cape, masterfully showcasing its classic warm-climate style and demonstrating nature’s stunning equilibrium.
