Grand Vin De Shiraz Viognier 75Cl
Product Description
- Shiraz Viogner - Red South African Wine
- Taking pride of place at the top of Stellenbosch's Devon Valley, our Grand Domaine overlooks all that is grand about our region. Vibrant aromas of ripe berries marry perfectly with violet notes to lead you to a concentrated palate with hints of spice and fruit. Layers of complex fruit on the persistent palate indicate that this wine will last for a number of years and will drink well with game, duck and soft cheese.

History
- The Stellenbosch winelands are considered to be the capital of the South African wine industry. Simon van der Stel arrived at the Cape as commander in 1679 and soon after was appointed its first governor. Later that year he undertook his first tour of inspection, which brought him to ‘the most charming valley he had ever seen' - the Stellenbosch winelands. He ordered the planting of the oaks, which is why it is sometimes referred to as Eikestad, or ‘town of oaks'
