The Joshua
Overview
This unique blend of Shiraz and Viognier reveals spiciness, hints of violets and liquorice flavours. A 37 year low yielding (3-4 tons/ha) old bush vine vineyard (one of the oldest in the country), planted on granite gravels with underlying layers of clay and Viognier from our Franschhoek estate planted on deep well drained sloping granite & sandstone soils.
The Viognier was left on the vine to wait for the ripening of the Shiraz. The grapes were harvested together in February 2004.
