Mooiplaas Watershed Syrah 2012

Mooiplaas is winery estate dates back to 1806 when the first owner, Petrus Jacobus Bosman acquired the farm. It was bought in 1963 by Nicolaas and Mercia Roos. Mooiplaas is the Afrikaans translation for 'beautiful farm'. The winery was recognized by the World Wide Fund for Nature as a Conservation Champion in 2020.

Very dark colour, almost black, nose shows notes of black cherry, along with spicy fynbos and pepper. The palate offers excellent focus and intensity, multi-layered with dark 
chocolate and fennel underpinned by typical silky tannins of Shiraz. Wine was matured for 18 months in small barrels. Barrels were selected to be allocated for this wine. Wine was not filtered before bottling and only racked out of the barrels before being bottled by hand.
