Nederburg Shiraz 750ml. 2020
Pour this when you want a red that hugs you back. It's plush and dark, full of plum and black cherry, with a little coffee-bean smokiness and a soft, velvety finish that lingers longer than you'd expect from a midweek bottle. The tannins are gentle, so it goes down easy without going boring. Fire's lit, meat's on, mates are over? This is the one to grab, and we'll have it at your door before the coals are ready.
Crimson-deep in the glass, and the nose pulls you in straight away: ripe plum and cherry, that signature coffee-bean note, and a wild herby lift the Cape locals call fynbos (think dried wild scrub, rosemary-ish, sun-baked). Sip and it's juicy dark fruit up front, then a savoury twist of leather and dried herbs underneath. The tannins (the grippy bit that dries your gums) are modest here, so it feels smooth and rounded rather than chewy. Elegant, long, and very moreish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Nederburg is a Cape institution, based in Paarl in South Africa's Western Cape and growing wine since 1791. This is from their Winemasters range, blended mostly from Shiraz with grapes pulled from top vineyards around Darling, Cape Town and Paarl. The 2020 was crafted by winemaker Zinaschke Steyn. That fynbos character you taste? It's the wild Cape shrubland the vines grow near, basically the terroir sneaking into your glass.
