Rhebokskloof Wine Estate
Rhebokskloof is situated approximately 6 km northwest of the Boland town of Paarl. The farm lies within the folds of Paarl Mountain in a secluded valley that is predominantly northeast and northwest facing, with some vineyards planted as high as 340 m above sea level. Due to its location as a fairly warm wine region, 70 percent of the vineyards are red wine varieties and 30 percent white wine varieties. Shiraz, Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, and Chardonnay make up more than 75 percent of the varieties grown on the farm. Lesser-known varieties include Mouvédre, Durif, and Carignan.
Description
Ripe strawberry and black cherry are the cornerstones of this elegant Syrah. They underpin layers of white pepper, star anise, and jasmine that are prominent on every sip. Bright acidity and soft tannin complete the wine, and the finish is long floral, and spicy.
Food Pairing
This deep red will pair perfectly with an oxtail stew or a succulent steak.
