Shiraz forms intense wines, with deep violet, nearly black color, chewy texture and richness, with aromas that tend to be more spicy than fruity. It is important to find the right site not only for planting, but certainly also to restrict the growth of the vine and its crop to achieve the best results. As Shiraz likes warm climates it seems well suited to South Africa.
