De Trafford Glenrosa Syrah 2021
100% Syrah
Wine of Origin Stellenbosch
- A tiny pocket of stony Glenrosa soil in the middle of our Elevation 393 vineyard was identified and vinified separately to produce only one and a half barrels.
- Just one 225 litre barrel was bottled for this auction wine.
- Only the fourth Syrah I’ve selected for the auction following Syrah 1999, 2009 and Sijnn Syrah 2011.
- 2021 is possibly the best vintage I’ve had the privilege of working with.
Tasting Notes: Bright, medium-deep red colour. Pronounced spiciness and red berry fruit on the nose. Fine red fruit and spices on the palate with a unique creamy texture and long finish.
Ready for drinking from 2024 to 2033.
Winemaker: David Trafford
