Diemersfontein Chocolate Shiraz

One of South Africa’s most recognisable Shiraz styles, this "Chocolate" Shiraz is known for its plush texture, generous fruit, and subtle savoury complexity. Despite the name, this is a dry, well-structured red with depth and balance.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum are layered with notes of black pepper, spice, and a gentle cocoa nuance. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with soft tannins, juicy dark fruit, and a rounded, lingering finish.

Winemaking
Careful oak maturation enhances the wine’s natural richness and adds complexity without overpowering the fruit, resulting in a polished and approachable style.
