Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The The Sleeper Shiraz from Rickety Bridge is a powerful yet elegant red wine that masterfully captures the intensity and depth of the Shiraz grape.
This wine is made from hand-picked grapes made from grapes that ripen in the warm, sunny vineyards of Franschhoek. The The Sleeper Shiraz has a deep purple color.
The nose is dominated by aromas of ripe black berries, plums and a spicy pepper note, accompanied by delicate hints of vanilla and oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and complex, with soft tannins and excellent balance. Notes of Chocolate, tobacco and a hint of smoke give the wine added depth. A long, elegant finish makes it a real pleasure to enjoy.

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.
