Robertson
Winery's flagship, Constitution Road Shiraz 2006, recently
enjoyed international acclaim
after having been awarded the highly coveted Regional Trophy,
at the Decanter
World Wine Awards held under the auspices of Decanter Magazine.
This magazine is widely reputed to the authoritative benchmark
wine
publication in the
world with 4000 recommendations per year. Decanter caters for a
myriad of palates focusing on the discerned connoisseur, making
this accolade
imminently prestigious.
"We
released our Constitution Road Shiraz in 2004 to commemorate ten years
of democracy in South Africa under the new constitution," says
Robertson Winery Marketing Director, Barry Kok. "This opulent wine is sourced from Robertson Winery's top Shiraz single block
vineyards and is likely to be the closest we'll ever get to an expression of
terroir".
Robertson Winery's No.1 Constitution Road Shiraz is rich, powerful, alluring
and is stylistically bold, structured and poised. There are layers of
dark ripe blackberry with seductive spicy fruit and black pepper characteristics,
plus
vanilla and cinnamon swathed in graceful, integrated ripe fruit and oak
tannins.
