Description
In a nutshell:
This South African red blend is all dark plum and brooding intensity, perfect for those evenings that call for a wine with a touch of mystery.
The lowdown:
Ah, this red. Deep as a Chesterfield after a particularly robust debate in the House of Lords. Quite the looker, all inky blackness, a result, some might say, of the winemaker's refreshingly laissez-faire approach in the cellar. Shiraz leads the pack in this blend, ably supported by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose? Imagine a posh fruit market with a generous sprinkling of blackcurrant, a whisper of fruitcake (the good kind, with nuts and a hint of rum), and a dash of white pepper for good measure. The sip? Full-bodied, smooth, and oh so deep, with tannins as robust as a rugby scrum and flavours that unfold like a well-told whodunnit - blackcurrant again, a touch of spice, and that intriguing fruitcake note lingering on the finish. All in all, a splendid fellow, perfect for an evening by the fire.
The Producer:
Post House wines hail from a picturesque estate nestled between Somerset West and Stellenbosch - a South African winemaking heartland. With breathtaking False Bay views, the vineyards enjoy the moderating influence of coastal breezes. Winemaker Nick Gebers, drawing inspiration from the estate's 'postal' past, launched his first vintage after a formative stint in Burgundy. Since then, Post House has built a reputation for carefully planted vineyards, thoughtfully matched to individual grape varieties, making them a notable name in the Stellenbosch region.
When to drink:
Crack open this bold, juicy red for any feast that calls for a hearty steak or a slow-cooked shoulder of lamb.
