Tasting Note

Aromas of freshly cracked black pepper mingle with concentrated dark fruit on the nose. The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, supported by a firm yet refined tannin structure. The wine concludes with a powerful finish, leaving a long, savoury impression.

Product Notes

Rickety Bridge Foundation Stone Shiraz is a bold, approachable South African red that showcases the richness of the Franschhoek Valley. Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry mingle with hints of black pepper, spice and subtle oak. On the palate, generous fruit flavours are supported by smooth tannins and a pleasing freshness, creating a balanced, lingering finish. Its full-bodied character makes it a companion for grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb, hearty casseroles or mature cheeses. Enjoy this Shiraz slightly below room temperature to appreciate its expressive fruit and spice. It is equally suited to relaxed dinners and special occasions alike.

Rickety Bridge

Set against the dramatic Franschhoek Mountains, Rickety Bridge is one of South Africa's established wine estates, combining centuries of Cape winemaking heritage with a modern portfolio of elegant, expressive wines. Located in the Franschhoek Valley of the Western Cape, the estate takes its name from an old wooden bridge that once crossed the Franschhoek River, linking the property with the surrounding countryside.
