La Motte Shiraz 2007
Western Cape, South AfricaA fine peppery fresh blend from all over the Cape including Walker Bay (30%), Franschhoek(15%), Darling(13%), Tulbagh(12%), Paarl(10%), Wellington(10%) and Elim(10%). It's been aged in mostly French but only 24 percent new oak and it shows. We love the bright spicy clove fruit and well managed acidity. The mid-palate is warm and the fruit black but there is a core minerality that keeps it fresh and focused. The finish is thankfully clean. Perfect for game birds, or roasted meats.Tasted: 21 December 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
