Zandvliet Kalkveld Shiraz 2005
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
Two things Paul and Dan de Wet do well is breed outstanding race horses - Pocket Power is one of their babies - and make simply great wine.
The Zandvliet Shiraz was first bottled over 35 years ago and is made from the Shiraz vineyards growing on the alluvial soils of the river which runs through the estate.
The grapes for the Kalkveld shiraz grow in a single vineyard on the southern slopes of a hill on the estate which is a conglomerate of pebbles, and clay, and of course limestone for which the region is famous. Limestone is good for horse breeding too.
The wine is a deep ruby colour with garnet
