ZANDVLIET ESTATE CHARDONNAY
R160,00
ZANDVLIET ESTATE SHIRAZ
R160,00Why is it Special?
What makes Zandvliet special is its "Limestone Pedigree." The limestone soils of Robertson provide a natural acidity and a "fine-grained" tannin structure that is difficult to replicate in other regions. It is "Special" because of its Aromatic Consistency—the famous "Zandvliet Spice" (a mix of violet and black pepper) is a recurring theme across every vintage. It is a wine for those who appreciate history and site-specific character, offering a refined, elegant experience that proves Robertson is one of the world's premier destinations for Shiraz.
