The Old Road Wine Co. Originals range recalls the stories of the legendary characters who shaped the Franschhoek community in its early years. The Anvil recognises the once indispensable local blacksmith, who forged iron with his sledge and anvil over an open fire to create items that were both necessities and works of art. This Shiraz strikes a similar balance between power and elegance, its robust tannins offset by well-defined black
fruit, spice and savoury notes.
in the vineyard : The Anvil Shiraz has its roots in the shale soils of Stellenbosch and Agter Paarl. To achieve a cooler, elegant style, the south-facing vineyards are rigorously quality managed with green harvesting and leaf removal.
