Classic Selection Premium Natural Sweet Red NV
R 85,00
Boland Cellar Classic Selection Premium Natural Sweet Red is a rich, fruit-forward South African sweet red wine made from Shiraz. Generous red fruit, sweet spice and a smooth, rounded palate give it a distinctly indulgent character, while refreshing acidity keeps the wine balanced and vibrant.
This natural sweet red offers a generous combination of ripe fruit and sweetness without losing its freshness. Sweet white pepper aromas lead into a plush red fruit palate, making it an appealing choice for anyone looking for a softer, richer alternative to traditional dry red wine.
Natural sweet red wines have become increasingly popular for their approachable style and versatility, and Classic Selection Premium Natural Sweet Red brings that style into a distinctly South African expression of Shiraz. It is particularly enjoyable well chilled or served over ice, and its generous fruit character makes it a natural match for rich, spicy and savoury dishes.
For those looking to buy South African sweet red wine, this Shiraz offers plenty of flavour, freshness and character in an accessible, easy-drinking style.

The Range
The Classic Selection range of prime cultivar-specific wines comprises distinct, carefully blended wines from different parts of the renowned Paarl wine region. The style is marked by climatic and maritime influences of the nearby ocean and the Boland mountains that result in fresh, fruit-driven wines reflecting typical varietal character and flavour.
The Vineyards
Vineyards were selected from granite soils that provide fresh fruit to the wine and shale soils that contribute to the structure and fruitiness, resulting in a balanced and rounded mouthfeel. The vineyards are planted on North to North-west facing slopes which is exposed to optimal sunshine during the day, but low temperatures during the night which is important for colour intensity and stability in red wine.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested early in the morning, followed by destemming and cold soaking for 24 hours. Regular pump-overs during fermentation extracted all the fruit and intense red colour from the skins. A portion of the wine was racked from the skins before the fermentation was completed and the rest was left on the skins for 7 days. The wines went to stainless tanks for partial malolactic fermentation that contribute to the creaminess on the palate and blended after 6 months on the lees.
Wine and Food Pairings
This naturally sweet red wine is an assemblage of wines from selected Shiraz blocks, which allows the winemakers to create a smooth, rich, and ripe wine that delivers sweet white pepper aromas and a plush red fruit mid-palate for a generous finish. Refreshing when drunk over ice or chilled, this wine is a generous accompaniment to rich food styles.
