Category: Red Wine Style: Dry
Producer: Douglas Green
Description:
RibShack is a bold, flavour-driven South African red blend crafted with food firmly in mind. Produced by Douglas Green Wines, this expressive wine brings together Pinotage, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon in a style that celebrates smoky grills, generous plates, and relaxed, social drinking. It’s a wine designed to complement hearty meals and easy-going moments, where flavour takes centre stage.
Pinotage delivers depth and richness, Shiraz adds warmth and spice, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and dark-fruited backbone. Together, they create a smooth, crowd-pleasing red bursting with ripe blackberry, plum, and black cherry, layered with sweet spice, subtle smokiness, and a gentle savoury edge. Soft tannins and a rounded texture keep the wine approachable, while its bold personality ensures it stands up beautifully to robust food.
Tasting Notes:
A full bodied muscular red wine with rich, ripe dark berry flavours and sumptuous smokey oak spice after wood maturation. This is a bold and expressive blend that balances the best of both Pinotage and Shiraz varietals with style and complexity right through to a smooth and juicy textured finish.
Food Pairing: BBQ ribs, burgers, and grilled sausages, slow-cooked beef, pulled pork, or brisket. Spiced lamb dishes and braised meats. Mature cheddar and smoky hard cheeses.
