Wine Making Method and Maturation:
12 Months in 35% new wood, 25% second fill, 25% third fill and 15% French oak barrels. Two rackings during wood maturation. Thereafter bottled without filtering or fining. Natural deposits may therefore be found in the bottle.
Can be enjoyed now but is anticipated to reach its optimum in 2 - 5 years time.
Wine Tasting Notes:
On colour
Rainbow’s End Shiraz 2020 can be described as deep ruby with a hint of purple at the rim, giving a youthful, vibrant appearance that suggests good concentration and ripeness.
On the nose
The nose typically shows ripe blackberries and dark plums alongside black pepper, gentle smoke and sweet spice, with a touch of floral lift adding aromatic complexity.
On the palate
On the palate it is dry and medium to full-bodied, offering juicy dark fruit, peppery spice and subtle oak, supported by smooth, rounded tannins and balanced, refreshing acidity.
On the whole
A ripe, peppery South African Shiraz with generous dark fruit, smooth tannins and a gently smoky, spicy finish.
