The Saronsberg Shiraz 2022 is made from dryland and trellised Shiraz vineyards planted across varied soils - from gravelly clay to decomposed shale - benefiting from cool nights that preserve vibrant aromatics and balanced acidity. Hand-harvested fruit undergoes meticulous sorting and fermentation with a mix of whole-berry and crushed components, followed by extended maturation in French oak that integrates oak spice and builds depth. The result is a wine that feels both refined and powerful, reflecting Tulbagh’s terroir with precision and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"1958\"\u003eColour: Deep, dark purple-black core with vibrant ruby edges - an immediate sign of concentration and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"1958\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1960\" data-end=\"2197\"\u003eNose: Aromas of ripe blackberries and plums weave with subtle violet floral notes and spice, complemented by hints of fynbos and integrated oak that add complexity without overwhelming the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1960\" data-end=\"2197\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2199\" data-end=\"2484\"\u003ePalate: Full-bodied and layered, the palate offers concentrated red and black fruit flavours framed by fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity and spice nuances - cracked pepper, dark chocolate and gentle liquorice - that bring depth and poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2199\" data-end=\"2484\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2486\" data-end=\"2704\"\u003eFinish: Persistent and structured, the finish echoes rich fruit and subtle spice with oak-derived warmth, leaving a long, refined aftertaste that invites further exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saronsberg","offers":[{"title":"750ml Bottle","offer_id":45221661442227,"sku":"RW2228SH58","price":399.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5195\/9731\/files\/SaronsbergShiraz2022.jpg?v=1768485292"},{"product_id":"saronsberg-cap-classique-brut-2022","title":"Saronsberg Cap Classique Brut 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eNestled at the foot of the Saronsberg mountain in the historic Tulbagh Valley, Saronsberg Cellar draws on unique soils of shale and clay loam and a climate shaped by cool mountain breezes to craft wines of balance and finesse.
