First red planted on Zandvliet in 1969, initially in alluvial soils. All the shiraz has since been relocated to the Kalkveld with its calcareous, clay and gravely soils. The extent of the vineyards is now close on 40 hectares and increasing yearly. Special care is taken to ensure that evenly-spaced small clusters with small berries are produced. Zandvliet Shiraz is a blend of all the shiraz from the Estate, all of which was matured in old oak. Great concentration of colour, aromas and fruit. Rich, ripe red fruit characters plums, cherries and mulberries. Intense fruit flavour, beautifully integrated with oak, soft ripe tannins giving an elegant, suave feel on the palate, lasting finish.
