About this product
Smooth. Spicy. A warm, generous expression of modern South African Shiraz.
Franschhoek Cellar Shiraz is crafted from vineyards that soak up the Cape’s long sunshine hours while benefiting from cooling coastal breezes — a combination that brings both ripeness and balance. This wine offers all the charm Shiraz lovers seek: plush fruit, gentle spice, and soft tannins, wrapped in a style that feels inviting from the very first sip.
The palate is rich but not heavy, showcasing layers of ripe plum, blackberry, and black cherry, lifted by notes of pepper, dark chocolate, and a hint of sweet spice. A touch of oak adds polish and softness without overwhelming the fruit. Everything feels harmonious, smooth, and quietly indulgent — exactly what makes this Shiraz such a favourite among drinkers who appreciate a comforting, flavourful red.
For customers in Ireland, this style of Shiraz is perfect for cosy evenings, hearty dishes, and gatherings where a warm, generous red sets the tone. It’s easy to enjoy, versatile at the table, and consistently excellent value.
Why we love it:
A plush, fruit-forward Shiraz with smooth tannins and just the right touch of spice. It’s rich yet wonderfully approachable, making it ideal for relaxed evenings and comforting meals in Ireland. A reliable, flavour-packed red that always delivers.
