  • Production

    The grapes were hand-harvested at optimum ripeness and given a two day cold maceration. Fermentation took place over 5 days in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs. The Shiraz grapes were co-fermented with a small portion of Viognier grapes to lift the aromatics of the wine and soften the tannins. Just before dryness, the wine was pressed and put back into tank for malo-lactic fermentation. 36% of the wine was matured in 225 litre American oak barrels (8% new) for 12 months. Fined and filtered before bottling.

  • Tasting Notes

    Wonderfully aromatic South African Syrah: masses of red berries and plums floating on a cloud of pepper, vanilla and spice.

  • Food Pairing

    Serve at a cool room temperature, with a nice piece of red meat.
