About wine:
Franschhoek Cellar Baker Station Shiraz is a truly remarkable red wine. The cooler valley slopes allowed the grapes to ripen slowly over a long period, resulting in this full-bodied yet silky-smooth wine. Delicious and ready to enjoy now.
-
Harvest and ageing:
The Shiraz is harvested ripe (25° Brix), as this produces a fuller-bodied yet milder style of wine. Yield: Between 7 and 12 tonnes per hectare.
-
Suitable for food pairing
Dry Shiraz pairs beautifully with beef steaks, grilled lamb, and spicy dishes. It also complements game, hard cheeses, and dishes with rich sauces. Avoid delicate fish and light dishes, which its full-bodied flavor would overpower.

About the winery
The South African town of Franschhoek was founded
by French Huguenots in 1688. In 1945, a community
of local growers came together and began
producing distinctive wines.
