Best Value Red of the Year,
Tim Atkin MW, 2023
The Syrah was hand-harvested in parcels and transferred into open-top fermenters. A small percentage of bunches were fermented without destalking. Natural fermentation followed, with punch downs and pump overs to extract colour and flavour from the skins. Following fermentation, the wine was pressed off the skins and malolactic conversion was completed in barrels and foudres. The wine spent a further eight months in 500-litre and 300-litre French oak barrels and 2,500-litre foudres of which
40% were third fill.
Silky and smooth, this wine has rich red fruits entwined with notes of mulberry, olive tapenade, floral hints, blood orange freshness, and wonderful balance.

Winery | The vineyard is planted at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Pass in granite-rich soils with clay and quartz. The clay element offers high water retention properties and releases much-needed water during the warm summer. The lowest part of the estate is 220 metres above sea level, climbing to 330m at the highest part. At this altitude, the vines are exposed to strong winds that naturally reduce yields and offer a much-needed cooling influence in Paarl's warm, dry climate. The vines are planted using a combination of bush and trellised methods. The vineyard is manually cultivated, with a commitment to sustainable farming. Natural predators are used instead of pesticides, and the vines are hand-harvested. |
