The Stonedale range is born from the unique terroir of the Robertson Wine Valley, where lime-rich soils and warm sunny days create the perfect conditions for Shiraz to thrive. Crafted by the Burger family at Rietvallei Wine Estate<\/b>, this wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve its bright primary fruit, with careful wood maturation to add complexity without overpowering the natural varietal character.<\/p>\nTasting Profile & Sensory Notes<\/b><\/h3>\n
This Shiraz is designed to be expressive and “punchy” while remaining elegant:<\/p>\n
The Nose:<\/b> An enticing aromatic profile featuring ripe plums, mulberries, and an unmistakable dusting of cracked black pepper and hints of liquorice.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The Palate:<\/b> Medium-to-full bodied with a juicy, mouth-filling texture. You\u2019ll find layers of dark fruit and savory spice, supported by fine, ripe tannins that provide just the right amount of structure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The Finish:<\/b> A clean, lingering finish with a touch of savory oak and persistent fruit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The “Braai” Master:<\/b> Shiraz is arguably South Africa’s best partner for the BBQ. This wine stands up brilliantly to the smoke and spice of grilled meats.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Excellent Longevity:<\/b> While it’s made for immediate enjoyment, its solid structure means it will hold its quality beautifully in your wine rack over the next 2\u20133 years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Food Pairing:<\/b> Perfect with spicy sausages, venison, pepper-crusted steaks, or even a rich chocolate-based dessert.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Smooth, Spicy, and Full of Character.<\/b> The Stonedale Shiraz is a testament to the fact that high-quality estate wine can be enjoyed every day.
