Cape Wine Company – Erasmus Family Shiraz

The wine presents a deep, dark garnet colour with a slight purple hue at the rim and is a testament
to the dedication and craftsmanship of the Erasmus family. On the nose, the Erasmus Shiraz 2023
is incredibly inviting, with an aromatic bouquet of dark fruits such as blackberry, black cherry, and
plum. These are beautifully complemented by subtle notes of black- and white pepper, liquorice,
clove, cinnamon, leather and an undercurrent of smoky oak. The palate mirrors the nose with an
explosion of ripe black fruits, seamlessly integrated with spicy black pepper and hints of mocha. The
wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture, balanced acidity, and firm tannins that provide great
structure. The finish is long and luxurious, leaving behind traces of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and
a whisper of violet. This Shiraz is both bold and elegant, making it a standout selection for any wine.
