Matured only in American oak and still a good wine, this latest Saxenburg comes in their new bottles and screen-print labels. It’s got lovely dark flavours and at the same time an intriguing layer of scrubby garrique – the scrubby, fynbos character that gives a shiraz a gear beyond luscious fruit. But it’s the tannic elegance that really impresses, retaining Saxenburg’s position as a pre-eminent shiraz producer.
