Tall Horse Shiraz
A Taste of Adventure
Tall Horse Shiraz invites you on a journey of bold flavors and smooth textures. Crafted entirely from 100% Shiraz grapes, this wine boasts a vibrant personality that captures the essence of the Western Cape’s diverse landscapes. Its dense ruby hue, complemented by a bright strawberry rim, hints at the luscious blue and blackberry aromas that await. Each sip offers a harmonious blend of fruit-forward notes and subtle peppery undertones.
Sourced from the Perfect Habitat
The grapes for Tall Horse Shiraz thrive in the varied macro-climates of the Western Cape. From the sun-drenched southern slopes to the cool, ocean-breeze-kissed areas of the West Coast, these grapes are hand-harvested during March and early April at 24°B. This meticulous selection ensures the highest quality and flavor profile for the wine.
Aged to Perfection
The winemaking process for Tall Horse Shiraz is as meticulous as its grape selection. Fermented on the skins for seven days at controlled temperatures of 24–28°C, the wine undergoes three daily aerations to enhance its rich flavor. After gentle pressing, the young wine matures on oak, completing malolactic fermentation and developing its smooth texture. A light filtration preserves its intrinsic varietal characteristics, making each bottle a genuine reflection of the Shiraz grape.
Unmatched Flavor and Versatility
Tall Horse Shiraz is a smooth and fruity red wine, perfect for fireside sipping or pairing with hearty meals. Enjoy it immediately or within three years of its vintage for the best experience. Its versatility shines when paired with BBQ steak, spicy sausages, sticky ribs, or rich stews. Whether you’re enjoying a casual evening or hosting a special gathering, this wine delivers unmatched enjoyment.
