2021 #SAYoungWineAwards #SAChampion #ShirazKleine Zalze Wines Shiraz (wooded)Judges FeedbackSeveral wines were more subdued than expected and indicate slower development with elegant evolution. Dark colouring was noticeable and could be revealing phenolic ripeness as a result of the longer hang-time in this cool year – where harvest-timing was critical to achieve the ideal balance and high potential.🏆 Results release: www.youngwineshow.co.za/a-white-wine-blend-triumphs-as-sas-best-young-2021-wine🎥 Awards video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYaagt9EynM#SAYoungWineShow #YoungWine #WineAwards #SAWineHarvest2021 #wine #MondayMotivation ...

The unwooded class featured delightful red and black berry-fruit, as well as plummy-fruit on the nose, with good length in taste. Attaining complexity remains a problem here.

Judges Feedback
Among the more scarce red cultivars, lighter wines with lower extract took its toll with Cinsaut, Cabernet Franc, Touriga Nacional, Grenache, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Ruby Cabernet – generally less exciting wines, especially with wood contact; not yielding great wines.
