Information about "Eagles' Nest Constantia Reserve Shiraz 2022"
The Eagles' Nest Constantia Reserve Shiraz 2022 captivates with its vibrant crimson hue, a hallmark of its cool climate origin. This exemplary Shiraz reveals a complex bouquet of peppered notes, intertwined with fragrant and ripe red fruit aromas. As it breathes, earthy mineral nuances emerge, enveloped by savory, smoky undertones. On the palate, a seductive concentration is evident, where pepper and spices combine seamlessly with luscious red fruits. The wine's soft, integrated tannins lead to a full-bodied, structured mid-palate, culminating in a long-lasting, enveloping finish marked by exquisite balance.
Utilizing the diverse elevations and microclimates, grapes were hand-harvested in small batches. Each component underwent meticulous sorting and cooling, followed by fermentation in small open tanks. Pump-overs ensured optimal extraction, and after fermentation, the wine was pressed into French oak barrels for 18 months (35% new wood) before blending and bottling.
