From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Shiraz stands for spice, robustness, and black fruit. This Oude Kaap Shiraz Reserve is no exception. This South African red wine is the flagship of the Oude Kaap winery. Shiraz grapes thrive in South Africa. Thanks to the abundance of sunshine and the perfect freshness of the sea, the grapes for Shiraz wines can ripen perfectly. It's no wonder this Oude Kaap Shiraz Reserve already has many fans worldwide.

Wijnhuis Oude Kaap is part of the large and well-known Douglas Green Bellingham winery, known as the DGB group. This winery has multiple vineyards and produces various premium wines throughout South Africa. It was founded in 1990 with the goal of producing affordable and progressive wines. And they've certainly succeeded; we're proud to sell these wines, because let's be honest, at this price, they're truly world-class. The vineyards for this Shiraz Reserve Collection are located in the Franschhoek region, where the climate is perfect for this red wine. The afternoon sun always shines beautifully, allowing the harvest to ripen easily. The fresh ocean breeze and cool nights give the harvest a restful harvest and ensure the Shiraz grapes ripen evenly and peacefully. After the harvest, which always begins in the morning, this Shiraz is aged in oak. French oak barrels are chosen, making this red wine fuller and more powerful. The result is a wine you'll never forget.

An outstanding wine. We can be brief, because this is simply excellent! The aroma is unparalleled; one sniff and you're hooked! Black fruit, such as blackcurrant, but also a hint of sweet toffee. Wow, we can hardly wait. The taste is truly beautiful. Powerful and full-bodied. Black fruit forms the foundation of this Oude Kaap Shiraz Reserve. But around it, many beautifully complex flavors emerge. Spices, vanilla, and a subtle oak aging. Refined and powerful. These are the perfect keywords for this South African wine. Looking for a top wine? We are admirers of this Oude Kaap Shiraz Reserve!
