Shiraz Cape South Coast Elgin vin rouge tranquille

Origin

Rhodanian origin

Also known as

Syrah

Shiraz from Elgin — grown in the cool region of Elgin (450 metres, Cape South Coast), on the granite and loam soils with a cold maritime climate — produces elegant and fruity Shiraz, with unexpected freshness for South Africa, comparable to a northern Rhône Syrah. Paul Cluver and Iona Vineyard are the references.
