Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
'The Anvil' Shiraz from Winery Old Road Wine Co. describes the story of the local blacksmith who forged iron with his hammer and anvil over an open fire. This Shiraz ties into the Original Series from Old Road, which recalls the stories of the legendary characters of the Franschhoek community in its early years.
The Anvil Shiraz offers a balance between power and elegance. Its smooth tannins are balanced by well-defined aromas of dark fruits, spices, and vanilla.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
Ratings
Old Road The Anvil Shiraz bietet intensiven Geschmack mit reifen Beerenaromen. Perfekt für Liebhaber kräftiger Weine. Empfehlenswert!
Robuste Tannine und elegant. Schöne Note von schwarzen Früchten und Gewürzen. Ziemlich herzhaft.
Dieser Shiraz ist etwas süß und würzig. Sternanis- und Eichennoten ergänzen den saftigen Brombeergeschmack. Der lange und anhaltende Nachgeschmack ist warm und vollmundig.
