Pielow’s premium harvest shiraz 2006.
Keen to produce their own wine, they bought 4 tons of premium shiraz grapes from the Tulbagh valley and with a local award winning winemaker, David Jordan from Manley’s private cellar they now have produced their first Pielow’s Shiraz.
Tasting Note:
Deep intense purple colour. Palate enters with intense explosion of berry fruits supported by layers of vanilla. Well rounded tannins have a velvety mouthfeel and lend this wine ageing potential.
