Rickety Bridge Shiraz is bursting with rich dark forest fruit and aromatic notes of spice, white pepper and dark chocolate. A wine that punches above its weight, it has a complex palate, showing elegance and refined structure. As well as being full-bodied and juicy, it has fresh acidity with keeps it bright and exciting. Subtle oak lingers in your mouth with notes of sweet spice. A fantastic all-rounder from this great value South-African estate.
This historic Franschhoek estate was formed out of one of the original farms that was granted to the Huguenots when they settled here, and it was first planted with vines in 1797 when it passed to Paulina De Villiers. The estate nestles against the slopes of the Franschhoek Mountains, close to the Franschhoek River that the old rickety bridge used to cross. British businessman Duncan Spence acquired the estate and there has been extensive investment to create a modern cellar, which is currently overseen by Mari Kotze.
