Product Description:
With its pronounced salt and pepper flavour profile, the hallmark of Cape Agulhas Syrah, the nose is led by red cherries and violets, followed by smoked bacon, green olive brine, white pepper and dried buchu. The palate is medium-bodied, with concentrated fruit enveloping an intense umami core: soy, brine, brightened by orange zest on the finish with fine tannins.

Vinifikation It’s no secret that growing conditions at the Southern tip of Africa are extreme, but the resilience of these Agulhas Syrah vines never ceases to amaze and delight us. An unseasonably hot, dry spell in August, followed by a cool Spring meant that this growing season was anything but textbook and Mother Nature kept us on our toes! Following early budbreak and uneven shoot emergence, windy conditions and frequent rain showers prevailed during flowering. High humidity towards the end of the growing season caused high botrytis and powdery mildew pressure, and cool weather delayed harvest by three weeks. The result was a decrease in yield, but being diligent in the vineyards paid off. The entire crop was sourced from two cool climate, low altitude (50m above sea level) Syrah parcels just 8km from the rugged and stormy coastline. One, a 21-year-old parcel, is North-West facing and planted on clay soils, and the other (22 years) is planted on Koffieklip soils. As always, we let the sites speak for themselves, and as such, the fruit was matured for 10 months in neutral French oak, in 228-liter and 300-liter barrels.
