Stellenbosch
Syrah
We make a different style of Syrah than many in South Africa. We are looking for an elegant, polished presence. Full, but not over the top. This wine is vegan-friendly
Serving
– Serve at a cool room temperature
– Pairs well with herbaceous stews
Tasting Note
Deep purple-tinged colour. Concentrated dark-fruit aromas with liquorice and violet and white pepper notes. The palate is rich and broad with layers of fruit and a fine-grained tannin structure.
Winemaking
Fruit Source
From our own Oude Nektar farm in Jonkershoek, Stellenbosch.
Terroir
Although this is a blend of three vineyards, the primary vineyard is our “Block 1”, an incredibly stoney vineyard that most visitors can not believe will actually support plant life. This special vineyard gives an intense grippiness and serves as the backbone of the wine.
