{"product_id":"balance-shiraz-merlot-2022-red-wine","title":"Balance Shiraz Merlot 2022 Red Wine 750ml 13% (South Africa)","description":"\u003cp\u003e🍷 Balance Shiraz Merlot 2022 Red Wine brings together two familiar red grapes in a fruit-led blend from South Africa’s Western Cape. Part of the Classic Selection range, it is a bottle for relaxed meals and friendly gatherings, with strawberry and plum flavours and a gentle spicy accent. The wine’s smooth texture gives it an inviting character, whether you are choosing a red for dinner or looking for something straightforward to share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🍓 The fruit is the centre of the experience: strawberry adds a bright red-fruit impression, while plum gives the palate a rounded feel. A touch of spice follows through the flavour rather than taking over. The satin-like texture is especially useful when you prefer a softer red-wine experience. This 2022 bottle has 13% alcohol, so its fruit and texture can remain the focus of the meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🍽️ As practical pairing suggestions, try grilled beef, a burger, pizza with a tomato base or roast chicken. A platter of charcuterie and mild cheese is another easy way to serve it. These are recommendations based on the wine’s fruity, smooth profile, rather than a fixed list of rules: choose dishes you enjoy and let the strawberry, plum and spice accompany them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🌡️ Balance Shiraz Merlot 2022 Red Wine - serving temperature of about 16–18°C is a useful starting point. If the room is warm, briefly chill the bottle before pouring, then allow the wine to open up in the glass. The screwcap is convenient for opening and resealing. Balance also contributes to EHRA’s PEACE project, which supports safer coexistence between communities and elephants. The bottle holds 750ml and contains sulphites. The precise grape percentages and oak-maturation programme for this vintage have not been confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍷 Style: Still red blend; existing dry classification awaits vintage-specific confirmation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🎨 Colour: Red.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍇 Grapes: Shiraz (Syrah), Merlot; exact 2022 proportions unconfirmed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📅 Vintage: 2022.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🏭 Producer: Balance \/ Overhex Wines International.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌍 Origin: Western Cape, South Africa; W.O.
