Grower Profile
Kirabo means 'a gift from God' - an African tale of a man who shot and wounded an elephant, only to see another one rush to the rescue...the hunter leaves the scene, intending to return for the valuable tusks. A month later he returns to find the animal still alive in the same spot, having been cared for by its faithful mate.....
This small winery is situated high on the steep south-west facing slopes of the mountains. The cool summer evening conditions and the silex based soil enables the grapes to ripen slowly without over-producing, this unique soil gives Kirabo wines their special character. This exclusive, boutique wine cellar produces only 3,400 bottles per cultivar, with the wine being wood-matured for 15 months, resulting in a long finish with good structure. The most exciting aspect of these wines is that they carry a lot of fruit, rendering them very pleasant and accessible to good drinking, leaving the palate clean, without the tar left behind as in some South African wines.
We offer in this range, premium quality at extraordinary competitive prices and the Platinum Collection range, a quality that offers exclusive style and character, ideal for savouring.

| 2008 Chianti - Solatio DOCG (oak aged) - Gini |
Highly recommended in 'Terre di Tuscia', 'Civilite de Bere' and 'The Wine Spectator', to name a few. This is a seriously delicious wine, ruby coloured with a nose that really arrests, and is full of vivid cherry and smoke which follows through onto the full bodied chunky palate. |
£8.50 |
| 2005 Rioja Tempranillo (Organic) - Biurko Gorri |
This semi-crianza is highly praised by Robert Parker. Deep cherry colour, intense bouquet of spring fruit, forest leaves, full bodied with sophisticated round tannins, soft with a long and persistant finish - retro taste of vanilla roasted nut. |
