It is the go-to bottle for the style-savvy wine lover who wants their purchase to look as good on the table as it tastes in the glass.

Tasting Notes

Nose: An inviting and aromatic bouquet. Expect an immediate burst of ripe mulberries and red cherries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, dried herbs, and a hint of sweet spice.

Palate: Medium-bodied, succulent, and incredibly smooth. The palate is packed with red berry fruit, supported by supple, integrated tannins. There is a beautiful balance between the fruit purity and a gentle savoury earthiness.

Finish: A clean and refreshing finish. It leaves a lingering trail of baking spices and a final, aristocratic whisper of toasty vanilla.

Product details

The Protea Shiraz is a modern, fruit-driven red that captures the generous spirit of the Western Cape. Sourced from specially selected vineyards that benefit from the region’s diverse soil types and Mediterranean climate, this wine is designed for early enjoyment. Matured with a light touch of oak to ensure the fruit remains the star of the show, it is a medium-bodied Shiraz that emphasises bright red berries and classic savoury spice. It is a wine that balances elegance with “everyday appeal,” housed in a bottle meant to be upcycled and cherished long after the last drop is poured.

Food Pairing

Protea Shiraz is a "versatile socialite," perfect for light lunches or hearty dinners. It is the ultimate companion for Grilled Lamb Koftas with a yoghurt dip or a Classic Margherita Pizza with fresh basil. Its peppery lift makes it a spectacular match for Slow-Roasted Tomato Pasta or a Smoky Chicken Braai. For a casual snack, pair it with Spiced Nuts or a platter of Salami and Olives. It is "Special" when served alongside Creamy Brie or Camembert, where the wine’s bright fruit acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese.
