Story:  The Reserve Shiraz represents the pinnacle of quality from the K1 vineyard, specifically sourced from the prestigious Avenue Block. This block consistently produces exceptional fruit, showcasing the unique terroir of Kuitpo. With meticulous viticulture and careful attention to detail, the Avenue Block delivers intense, concentrated fruit that forms the backbone of this premium wine. Crafted with precision and aged in the finest French oak, the Reserve Shiraz is a wine of elegance, power, and complexity, embodying the best of its region.

Vintage: The 2019 growing season started with mild weather and below average rainfall. Some late spring rain provided a bit of relief from the dry conditions. A heatwave in January was luckily too early in the ripening cycle to cause any damage to the fruit. This was followed by a very mild and dry finish to the vintage, allowing good hang time and flavour development to the smaller than average crop. 

Nose: Aromatic thyme and vanilla are complemented by vibrant red cherry and raspberry, creating a bouquet that is fresh and inviting.

Palate: A creamy, generous palate with layers of cherry, violets, and raspberry, balanced by a touch of dark, bitter chocolate for depth, all leading to a long, seamless finish with velvety tannins.

Pairing: Elevate the experience with South American-inspired decadence: perfectly chargrilled ribeye steak topped with vibrant chimichurri, accompanied by crispy duck fat potatoes and a side of charred seasonal vegetables drizzled with garlic butter.
