Syrah 2021
Very expressive, archetypal aromatics of violets and blackberries, black olives, white pepper, and spice while the palate is particularly vivid and energetic – lovely pure fruit to go with a great line of acidity and fine tannins.

Ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing
Cluttered with massive rocks of broken shale and very close to False Bay’s restless Atlantic Ocean, the focus was on maintaining fruit-purity and truest reflection of provenance in one of the world’s greatest red wine varieties.
Vinification
The fermentation tank was filled with 25% whole clusters at the bottom and 75% destemmed whole berries on top, to extract the complete spectrum of fruit characters whilst maintaining vibrancy and freshness. A ten-month period of coaxing in old French oak barrels and Italian terracotta amphora eased the tannins, allowing depth of flavour and a commanding presence, while preserving the brightness and life-affirming vigour of an expressive red wine.
