The Heritage of the Stable Yard
The Stable Yard Shiraz is named after the historic buildings at Mount Rozier, where horses once rested after a day in the vineyards. Today, that same land produces a Shiraz that is as sturdy and spirited as its namesake. The 2022 vintage benefited from the unique maritime influence of False Bay, which moderates the heat and allows the Shiraz grapes to develop their signature spice without becoming overly jammy.
The Profile: Dark, Spicy, and Structured
By purchasing this case, you are securing a wine that is crafted for those who appreciate a “full-throttle” red:
Aroma: A concentrated nose of ripe mulberries and plums, woven with toasted oak, clove, and the iconic cracked black pepper aroma that characterizes the variety.
Palate: Full-bodied and rich. The fruit is dense and dark, supported by firm tannins that provide a lingering, savory structure.
Finish: A warming, spicy finish that leaves a persistent trail of cocoa and smoke.
Why Stock a Case of 6?
The Perfect Event Wine: Its bold profile makes it a standout partner for a traditional South African braai or large family dinners.
Consistency: The 2022 vintage is remarkably consistent, making it a reliable “go-to” bottle that pairs with almost any red meat dish.
Pairing Ideas: Stock up for meals featuring slow-roasted lamb, spicy beef stir-fry, or hearty venison stews. It also stands up brilliantly to strong, aged cheeses.
