100% Syrah
Wine of Origin Swartland
Crafted from the finest section of my top vineyard – an exceptionally low-yielding site producing just 1 ton per hectare. Planted on schist soils with the highest concentration of quartz, this parcel delivers remarkable natural extract at low potential alcohol. No new oak was used, allowing the purity of site and structure to shine through.
Tasting Notes: Concentrated black and purple fruits are layered with notes of fynbos and black tea. The palate is dense and firmly structured, promising graceful evolution over decades.
Ready to drink 2030 to 2040.
