The 2021 Oogwink comes with a compressed frame of red florals before red spice and
smoked black peppercorn mingle with hints of cured sausages. Medium to full bodied.
The palate displays fine-grained tannins with elegance and precision offering notes of
cherry and peppercorn and delightful finish.

In the glass, the Tempel Oogwink Shiraz presents a deep, dark ruby color with purple hues, signaling its richness and intensity. The nose is filled with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, along with hints of black pepper, clove, and a subtle smokiness from the oak.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Paarl mountains, Tempel Wines is home to high-quality, handcrafted wines, meticulously hand made by owner/winemaker Tom Heeremans. 80% of the wines are made on the field, great care is taken to select only the best cultivars and rootstocks given the climatological circumstances and different soils at each vineyard. Grapes are handpicked and naturally fermented in traditional open tanks, then matured in French oak barrels and/or concrete eggs.
