VINEYARDS
This wine is made from two different regions
and different vineyards. The idea is to obtain
different flavours and character and balance it
out in a bottle.

WINEMAKING
The style of winemaking can be tasted in the wine, soft, easy, smooth style, with no harsh tannins. The grapes ripened mid season. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with daily pump overs to obtain the colour from the skins. Malolactic fermentation was encouraged whilst on the skins. The pressing of the skins took place three weeks after fermentation. The different wines were blended immediately. This wine was barrel matured for 14 months before bottling.

AWARDS

  1. Cape Times rated Y-Shiraz as a "TOP WINE".
  2. Wine Magazine rated Y-Shiraz 2006 and 2007 as "Best-Value-for-Money"
