Description
#25 in Top 100 Wines of South Africa, 2024. This is wild and savory, full of green-olive, rosemary, iron and brambleberry aromas. Then super silky and elegant on the medium-bodied palate with lightly peppery, fine tannins. Salty and herbal freshness throughout. A little less concentrated than the 2021, very fresh and already drinkable, but classy and full of character nonetheless from a difficult vintage. Drink or hold.

Varietal
Syrah
Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet’s most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn’t easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.
