Glenwood Shiraz Vintage 2004 no-wrapin

Glenwood Shiraz Vintage 2004 no-wrapinGlenWood Vineyards is a boutique estate situated in the secluded Robertsvlei Valley, just outside the village of Franschhoek. The estate was established in 1984 by Alastair Wood, who recognised the valley's potential for producing high quality wines. Rather than focusing on volume, GlenWood has always concentrated on small batch, premium wines, with long serving cellar master DP Burger playing a major role in shaping the estate's style. The 2004

1971 was a good vintage for the region

The 1971 vintage was overshadowed by 1970

like drinking silk with a hint of tobacco in a dream that lingered all night

which is the only drawback

but with a long life ahead

Complex with more spice notes than fruit

but delicious

wine levels into neck

Cabernet Franc

70cl bottle

Blaufrankisch

This excellent port is part of the Symington group
