Constitution Road Shiraz 750ml (6pcs)
1,128,000 UGX
In 2004 Robertson Winery released a very special Shiraz to commemorate ten years of democracy in South Africa under the new constitution. The wine has a radiant deep purple colour. Rich aromas of plum, and black berries envelopes warm spice aromas and a hint of dark chocolate. A voluptuous wine with silky tannins. Ripe dark fruit found on the nose follows through to the palate and lingers on the finish. This opulent wine is vibrant and deeply satisfying. Pair it with a joyous gathering of family and friends as you celebrate abundance.

in the cellar : At the Cellar grapes were de-stemmed and taken to small open top fermenters. A 10% saignee was done followed by two days of cold maceration. Once fermentation kicked off the skin cap was punch down or pumped over every 6 hours to ensure optimal extraction of flavour, tannin and colour. After fermentation the wine was left on the skins for 5-7 days extended maceration. The skins were then pressed off and the wine taken to new 225 L and 300 L oak barrels to undergo malolactic fermention. Wine was aged for 36 months in barrel in our temperature controlled Cellar (100% French (94%) and Hungarian (7%) barrels).
