SPICE ROUTE Chakalaka - Swartland (Shiraz/Grenache/Carignan) 2021 Bottle VEG/VGN/SUS

Description

Named after the signature spice blend of South Africa, this huge wine is made from classic Rhône varieties. The blend changes every year to incorporate the best grapes from the Swartland vintage. This wine is deep ruby in colour. On the nose, aromas of clove and subtle white pepper mingle with juicy blackberry and plum fruit. Full-bodied and rich, the palate displays well-integrated oak and smooth, structured tannins. Chakalaka, a Zulu word that implies togetherness, refers to a South African blend of spices, used to add flavour to local dishes. This wine is inspired by the unique combination of flavours.
Grapes: 26% Syrah/Shiraz , 24% Mourvèdre, 15% Grenache/Garnacha, 15% Carignano/Carignan , 13% Durif, 7% Tannat.
