Cloof, The Very Sexy Shiraz 2024

Cloof Wine Estate is nestled in the rugged hills of the Darling region of South Africa’s Western Cape. Established in 1966, its old bush vines thrive in deep Tukulu soils, tempered by cooling Atlantic breezes. The estate champions biodiversity, earning recognition for habitat conservation and sustainable farming. Their bold, expressive wines balance ripe Cape fruit with natural freshness, reflecting the wild beauty of their coastal terroir. Sustainably produced; vegan-friendly. Deep ruby-garnet in colour with an inviting nose of blackberries, cassis, cloves and cracked pepper. The palate is rich and velvety, showing concentrated dark fruit layered with spice, mocha and a gentle smoky note. Full-bodied yet balanced by supple tannins and lively freshness, it finishes long and warming. A generous, crowd-pleasing Shiraz that’s as seductive as its name suggests.
