Cloof, The Very Sexy Shiraz, 2021
Story
Cloof dares to be different. With decades of experience and an untamed creative spirit, the wine embraces the bold and the unexpected. The Very Sexy Shiraz is born from this fearless philosophy — a wine that turns heads and breaks rules. Crafted with respect for the land and a deep commitment to sustainability - a seductive power of a wine made with intention.
Tasting Notes
A perfect musical match for The Very Sexy Shiraz is “Mon cœur s’ouvre à ta voix” from Camille Saint-Saëns’ Samson et Dalila. This sultry, longing aria seduces with every lingering phrase — just as this Shiraz unfolds in waves of spice and velvet. Dalila’s voice, rich and persuasive, mirrors the wine’s opulent texture and slow-building intensity. Like the wine, the aria is lush, full-bodied, and impossible to forget — a siren’s song in a glass.
Food Pairing
The Very Sexy Shiraz needs bold flavours: Cape Malay lamb curry with butter-fried roti, or chicken biryani. It pairs especially well with roast duck and plum sauce.
Winemaker’s Note
This Shiraz underwent a two-day cold soak at 10°C before fermenting on the skins for eight days at 30°C. Following fermentation, malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine was aged for 12 months in oak barrels.
