Description: This is an interesting blend of old bush vine Shiraz (around 70%) with the balance being made up with Mouvedre. Sourced from excellent parcels of fruit with long established growers with relationship spanning over some 20 years, wine maker Marinda Kruger Van Eck has encompassed some the character of the region.
Interestingly in this wine Marinda has used traditional techniques used in the Rhone for years, co-fermentation. This is where Viognier is fermented with the Shiraz before it is blended with the very slow growing Mourvedre.
