The Secretary Bird, a name deriving from the quill like feathers of its crest, is a familiar sight in the open grasslands of the Western Cape and one of South Africa's most treasured national birds. The Western Cape is a rich, fertile region and home to the vines of The Secretary Bird shiraz grapes. Open and enjoy aromas of blackcurrant which lead to rich bramble fruit flavours, a touch of spice and a long, fruity finish.
