Shiraz

This Shiraz pairs well with grilled meats, sausages, cold cuts, and pasta dishes with mushrooms or eggplant. It also works nicely with hearty stews and hard cheeses​.

This Shiraz is produced from grapes grown in the Western Cape. The region’s cooler climate contributes to the freshness and vibrant fruit characteristics that define this wine​.

The wine spent 10 months in oak, primarily second- and third-fill barrels, which allows for a balanced interaction between the fruit and oak flavors​.

Fermentation was conducted in both open and closed-top stainless-steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit flavors. The wine was aged for 10 months in second- and third-fill French and American oak barrels, adding complexity and subtle oak integration​.

Guardian Peak wines were conceived in 1998 by Jean Engelbrecht who combined his knowledge and understanding of international wine markets with his experience and involvement at his family wine estate Rust en Vrede in Stellenbosch. The objective was to create a range of wines that should be accessible to the consumer in both style and price. Grapes for Guardian Peak are sourced from the Breedekloof and Stellenbosch appellations where we enjoy long-term contracts with respected growers. More importantly we view our contracts as relationships whereby both parties benet mutually. Two decades later and our beliefs remain to produce approachable sustainable wines of consistent quality allowing our consumer to experience value and enjoy them as often as we do.
