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
