Winemaker Notes
This savory, Rhône-inspired Shiraz combines juicy flavors of wild berry, black cherry, and brambly fruit with elements of earth, dark chocolate, pepper, and exotic spice. The Viognier component provides a lovely aromatic dimension and a floral freshness on the palate. Pair this lip smacking bottling with grilled or braised meats, game dishes, or roast leg of lamb with Provencal spices.

Wine Enthusiast
Savory, luscious and aromatic, with waves of dark chocolate, spice and wild berries, this wine is meaty and rich inn character with a spin of smoke. Blended with a touch of Mourvedre and Viognier for added depth, it's smooth but sturdy and has aging potential.

Grapes for the Brampton wines are selected from the Rustenberg estate vineyards on the Simonsberg as well as from Nooitgedacht, proprietor Simon Barlow’s property high on the Helderberg slope, overlooking False Bay, where mountain ridges are cooled by gentle salt breezes. All of the Brampton wines are fermented in stainless steel. Each vineyard block is vinified separately, and the parcels are later blended to create supple, fruit-driven wines. The whites are aged in tank in order to preserve the fresh fruit flavors of the wines. After the initial fermentation is complete, the reds are run to small oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and maturation of up to 15 months before bottling.
Each Brampton label is etched with a "B", playfully scrawled in vivid, varietal-specific colors. The range is packaged under user-friendly screw cap closures, ensuring fresh, juicy flavors and consistent quality. Perfect everyday wines and great for casual gatherings, Brampton offers tremendous value and sophisticated winemaking in every sip.
