Her Shiraz

Grilled or roasted red meats: lamb, beef; hearty stews and spice and herb; charred vegetables and smoked mushrooms.

The Shiraz grapes were harvested at optimal phenolic ripeness in different regions and destemmed prior to fermentation at the cellar. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tank with regular timed pump-overs to optimise phenolic extraction, particularly focusing on colour intensity and tannin development using selected yeast strain. The must was pressed off the skins slightly before the completion of alcoholic fermentation to retain the primary fruit flavours and to enhance mid-palate. Malolactic fermentation was conducted inn stainless steel tanks with addition of ceramic wood.

Adama Wines is a majority black-owned wine company, that is also 30% owned by women. We are proud to form part of the Bosman Adama Group. Bosman Adama is a multi-ownership business situated in Wellington. 2009 Saw the culmination of a dream when 260 permanent workers of the Bosman farming community received a well-earned share in 430 hectares of prime vineyard land. It is a business born out of trust and respect and is the largest land reform transaction to date in the history of the South African Wine industry. The transaction is viewed as a leading example of successfully transforming the South African Agricultural Landscape.
