Obikwa Shiraz

Product Code: 89450

Obikwa wines - exclusive to Oddbins in the UK - are a real wake up for the senses. This Shiraz is extravagantly rich and flavoursome, at a truly puny price.

Tasting Notes : Plush with ripe plum and cherry fruits, the soft palate has an earthy edge with a spicy, savoury twang.

Producer : Obikwa

Method of Production : A combination of young and old vines grafted on to Phylloxera resistant rootstock were harvested in February. Mostly handpicked grapes were destemmed, pressed, then fermented at 25°C for 13 days in stainless steel. Filtered and fined with egg whites and gelatine, the wine matured in tanks and oak for six months before being bottled.

Product Reviews

Not the best Shiraz I've tasted at the price but certainly not unpalatable. I found it better chilled than drunk straight from the bottle. There again (sacrilege!) I tend to prefer my reds chilled.
