Zimazela »The Big Five« Red Wine, 6 x 750 ml

Description

The Big Five is a term that comprises the five most powerful African animals: lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard and elephant. Every bottle shows one of these animals, and on the sixth one they are all shown together. That is why Zimazela is only offered in cartons of six.

The vinification: The wine is made from 100 % Shiraz grapes. It is aged for 12 months before bottling in two and three year old oak barrels and partly in steel tanks. Then it is kept in the bottle until it is in perfect balance.

The wine: “Zimazela - The Big Five" is elegant, not opulent. It is harmonious and well balanced with beautiful colour. When the wine flows into the glass, it exudes a delicate fragrance of fresh fruit. With its well structured and elegant palate, it is already endowed with irresistible seductiveness. It can already be enjoyed now, but at the same time has a very good storage potential.

The food: This wine is particularly suited to beef, pasta and barbecue, as well as mature cheeses.

Manufacturer

Darling Cellars

Darling Cellars was founded in 1949 under the name Mamreweg Wine Cellar and is located north of Cape Town in the Darling District on the west coast of South Africa. The vineyards themselves are Darling Cellar's No.1 source of inspiration. From deep granite soils dominated by bush vines derive the best grapes for wine production, which are carefully selected. The cool breeze from the Atlantic provides a cooler climate which allows the production of special wines that stand out for their fruit and elegant style. At Darling Cellars, winemaking is considered a craft and an art in which nature itself plays the greatest role. The Darling Cellars winemakers aim to keep the technical influence on the grapes as little as possible on their way through the first careful selection, pressing, fermentation and maturation. The head oenologist puts it this way: »What nature gives us each year; we try and get into the bottle with passion and honour."
