A new blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz introduced into the Simonsig range in 2003
The warm weather in February and March ensured that the red varieties reached full ripeness under ideal conditions. Some of the older Cabernet Sauvignon grapes ripened very slowly and required a lot of patience. Many growers waited until after the Easter weekend before harvesting and the best Cabernet grapes were not picked until well into April. The top vineyards gave us wines with structure, concentration and complexity. Shiraz emerged as one of the highlights of the vintage big powerful wines with full bodied alcohols and ripeness. Excellent potential.
Deep red with dark centre. Spicy, peppercorn aromas are complemented by a hint of toasty smoked beef. Succulent black berry fruits follow through on the palate where the gentle tannin structure provides fullness and a lingering ripe fruit finish.
