Anthonij Rupert Protea Shiraz is an exquisite South African wine that beautifully encapsulates the essence of the terroir. The wine exudes bold aromas of dark fruit and subtle oak, and on the palate, it unfolds with vibrant notes of blackberry and plum, smoothly underpinned by soft tannins. Its deep ruby colour and engaging complexity capture the eye and palate alike. The wine culminates in a strikingly long finish that leaves a lingering impression. Anthonij Rupert Protea Shiraz is a sophisticated choice, perfect for pairing with rich, hearty dishes. Truly, a delightful expression of the Shiraz varietal.
