"96 Tasted by: Malu Lambert
(at Cape Town, 10 Feb 2025)
Part of Decanter Cellar: 16 must-try Syrah
Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035
Syrah from Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of viticulture on the African continent. Cool, limpid tones of iced black cherries, blackcurrant confit, violets and white pepper. Parcels are kept separate during fermentation and maturation, and blended just prior to bottling. An average of 35% whole-bunch magnifies the spice and vibrant red fruit energy on the palate, complemented by featherweight tannins. Intensely pure and buoyed by a saline acidity."
