Waterford Estate - Kevin Arnold Shiraz 2018

The single label Kevin Arnold Shiraz is a personal expression of the spice and mocca characters this grape shows in the Helderberg - Stellenbosch vineyards. Ripe figs, black pepper and spice aromas- palate is classically dry with tightly structured tannins. Oaking plays a complimentary role rather than dominating. Subtle, yet powerfull without exsessive extract.

The wine shows aromatics of delicate violets, dark plum fruits and licorice notes which has layered subtle notes of earthiness and leather spice, brought in by the Mourvedre component. The palate follows the aromatics of the nose with similar violet and earthy spice notes. The wine shows generosity for a vintage which is known for more elegant and finely textured wines. The tannins presented are soft and granular with a fruit-forward finish due to the use of strictly older barrels for ageing
