Grapes of the highest quality were sourced from selected vineyards in the Paarl and Firgrove areas which contributes to the unique characteristics of the wine. These vineyards thrive in a combination of laterite and soil with yellow clay sub-layers. 

Bright purple in colour with a deep violet rim. The nose offers upfront aromas of perfume, violets, glazed gammon, pepper and buchu. The wine presents a smooth entry on the palate, with soft and seamless layers of cloves, nutmeg and warm spices, underpinned by a savoury and meaty finish.

The De Grendel Shiraz will marry exceptionally well with pork neck steaks served with a cranberry reduction, a traditional glazed gammon during the festive season and, in particular, with game and venison cuts during the colder winter months.

Enjoy the Shiraz now or allow it to mature for a further 5 – 8 years.

Enjoy with: Pork Neck Steaks, Glazed Gammon, Venison Cuts

Tasting Notes: Cloves, Nutmeg, Savoury

  • Tasting Notes

    Deep ruby in colour, with aromas of ripe plum, blackberry and pepper. The palate reveals layers of dark fruit, mocha and spice, framed by silky tannins and elegant oak. This wine shows impressive weight and intensity, supported by firm, confident tannins and a long, enduring finish that leaves a lasting impression on the palate.

  • Food Complements

    Perfect alongside chargrilled lamb chops, pepper-crusted steak, or smoky barbecue ribs. Also complements rich stews, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses, enhancing the wine’s spicy depth and smooth, full-bodied character.

  • Vintage

    During 2021, a late winter and spring led to a late harvest season in 2022 with three small compact heat waves in January. Above average crop, quality, and quantity-wise.
