Shiraz from South Africa

Babylonstoren Shiraz 2023

This impenetrable ruby red Shiraz (Syrah) from South Africa is fruity and impressively fresh. At the same time, it impresses with a fine spiciness thanks to its long maturation in oak. Wine critic Christine Rudman was also impressed by the Babylonstoren Shiraz. She awards the Shiraz from the Cape 4 out of 5 stars in John Platter's Wine Guide.The bouquet combines intensely fruity notes of blackcurrants and cherries with spicy notes of black and white pepper and leather. The bouquet is underpinned by perfectly harmonizing woody notes. Rudman chooses these words: "Wonderfully perfumed, elegant berries and cherries, mixed spices with white pepper."The Babylonstoren Shiraz is dry on the palate, with a full body and supple, masterfully integrated tannins. The aromatic complexity is wonderful: flavours of cherries, plums and blackcurrants in fine interplay with nuances of chocolate and an underlying spiciness. The velvety mouthfeel and long-lasting finish round off the flavour experience. Rudman: ‘The 2020 surprises with a streamlined body, juicy & supple.’This South African Shiraz was matured in oak for a total of 18 months. Babylonstoren used 70% new and 30% second-fill French oak barrels (300 litres) for this high-quality Syrah. This red wine is a guarantee of enjoyment until 2030.Enjoy this creation from Babylonstoren, located between Paarl and Stellenbosch, at a drinking temperature of 16 to 18 degrees. An ideal accompaniment to a ribeye steak with black pepper sauce or duck breast with a beetroot carpaccio. Also a delicious choice with tender pork fillet with plums and apricots.

Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal 2022

Vielschichtige, intensiv fruchtige Noten von getrockneten Kirschen, dunklen Pflaumen und Datteln prägen das Bouquet des Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal 2020. Der faszinierend komplexe Duftstrauß bietet darüber hinaus Noten von Tabak und grünen Oliven, dazu Nuancen von Trüffel und Menthol.In John Platter’s Wine Guide erhält dieser Rotwein aus Südafrika 93 Punkte. Kritikerin Cathy Marston erkennt Kirschfrucht, Leder, Wild und Würze.Auch am Gaumen hinterlässt dieser ungewöhnliche Blend aus 41% Sangiovese, 26% Nebbiolo, 5% Barbera, 14% Shiraz, 11% Pinot Noir, 3% Mourvedre Eindruck. Der trockene Rotwein aus dem Hemel-en-Aarde-Tal, unweit der Walker Bay im Südatlantik, hat einen mittleren Körper und zugleich eine wunderbar anregende Säure. Die geschmeidigen Tannine sind gekonnt eingebunden. Das Finale wird von einer schönen Würze getragen und klingt noch lange nach. Noch bis 2032 ist der Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal ein Hochgenuss.Die einzelnen, akribisch gelesenen Rebsorten wurden separat in französischen Eichenfässern ausgebaut, in denen sie fast ein Jahr lang heranreiften. Dabei kamen zu fast einem Viertel neue Fässer zum Einsatz. Nach zahlreichen Tastings kreierte Bouchard Finlayson dann einen finalen Blend, der noch einige Monate nachreifte, bevor er in Flaschen abgefüllt wurde.Die Namensgebung leitet sich etwas speziell her: Da in diesem südafrikanischen Rotwein prägende Rebsorten des Weinbaus in Italien und Frankreich assembliert werden, soll der Name Hannibal an den karthagischen Feldherrn erinnern. Er überquerte in einem legendären Feldzug mit einer größeren Zahl an Elefanten im dritten Jahrhundert vor Christus die Alpen von Frankreich nach Italien, um einem römischen Angriff zuvorzukommen (Zweiter Punischer Krieg).Der Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal 2020 ist eine herausragende Komposition des südafrikanischen Weinbaus. Der rubinrote Wein zeichnet sich auch dadurch aus, dass er ein vielseitig einsetzbarer Essensbegleiter ist. Entdecken Sie ihn zum Beispiel zur indischen Küche oder zu Ziegenkäse auf Brioche-Toast. Wer etwas Außergewöhnliches probieren möchte: Auch zu Fisch Vindaye, typisch für die Küche in Mauritius, ist der Rotwein aus der Provinz Westkap ein idealer Begleiter. Aber auch die klassische, würzige italienische Küche bietet sich an.
