This wine offers a dark brooding nose of spice and a distinct white pepper and lifted violet note. The palate shows blackberry and red cherry but also a persistent peppery spice and violet nuance with a lingering finish of black olives and soft vanilla undertones.
The Peppergrinder’s Shiraz is the epitome of what Golden Triangle Shiraz is capable of. It speaks of terroir, climate and age old vineyards.
The grapes used for this wine are harvested from a single vineyard of Shiraz which was planted in 1972. It used to be planted amongst tobacco and the only grapes on our Helderberg property. Sadly it was sold off to the cooperative, but in the last 7 years we have gone outside the norm to protect and preserve these old vineyards and getting several of them across different cultivars back into shape.
