Wisdom Point
Shiraz
The Western Cape of South Africa is an absolutely unique and charming spot for winegrowing. One of the most southern points on the tip of Africa, the region sees a dry, scorching climate. Thanks to the influences that come from the nearby Atlantic Ocean, the bright and summery days are mitigated by cooler moments. Fruit is planted at lower elevations, which allows for full ripening and flavor development. Bold and full-bodied, our Wisdom Point Shiraz is a standard representation of the varietal. This wine is deep in color and has a weighty texture and body. Featuring a bright fruit-forward flavor profile, every sip is enhanced by a spiciness on the palate, typical of Shiraz. The finish is short—a trademark of the varietal—but the deeply bold flavors stick around long after you’ve finished a glass. It is the perfect pair for an al fresco dinner with friends.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Western Cape](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/2657/normal/South_Africa_Western_Cape.png?1616010576)
Western Cape
The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.

Black Pepper
Our Shiraz is deep in color and full of flavor. Dark fruit notes of blackberry and brambleberry meld with savory aromas and a distinct black olive tapenade punch. A hint of tobacco enhances spicier notes and a toasted nuttiness.
