Nelson's Creek Wine Estate NELSON'S ESTATE Shiraz Paarl RSA
Description: Alan Nelson's committment to quality is reflected in the hand-crafted wines carrying the Nelson's Estate Label. These wines come from carefully chosen highest quality grapes on the Estate and have been nurtured along at every stage in their creation. Deep red with a full colour to the rim, it is soft, rich and full-bodied wine combines blackberries, dark/bitter chocolate and allspice to result in a long, lingering finish. The grapes were picked fully ripe and pump overs were vigorous and frequent while being done by hand and not by irrigation. Next, the wine was fermented completely dry before pressing which, due to the super ripe grapes, allowed a harded pressing to draw out more of the rich extracts from the grapes. After malolactic the wine received 18 months ageing in 100% French oak barrels and finally the wine was lightly filtered prior to bottling. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £85.20

Charles Back/Fairview Wine Estate GOATS DO ROAM Red South Africa
Description: Goats really do roam on the Fairview estate but the pun is more to do with the Rhone varietals like Shiraz and Grenache which Charles Back has planted and which suit the hot South African sun. Concentrated, spicy wine with lots of body and flavourthis is a deep vibrant purple coloured wine with aromas of ripe fruit and spice. Showing juicy ripe fruit this wine is complemented by the fresh palate with firm tannins and good length. The grapes were harvested from vineyards in the Paarl, Perdeberg, Piekenierskloof and Malmesbury regions. The majority of grapes are sourced from dry farmed old bush vines. These vineyards provide low yields, resulting in wine with considerable concentration. The various, predominantly Rhone varietals were harvested ripe and destalked before being fermented at 25 (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £68.28
