Description
Experience the bold elegance of the Syrah 2019 – Labelled, a testament to refined winemaking rooted in tradition. This wine is crafted from 100% Syrah grapes, grown in decomposed granite soils along South Africa’s coastal region. The vines, planted in 1983, yield a robust expression of terroir that shines through in every sip.
Indulge in its old-world charm, where aromas of pepper and spice meet a vibrant palate of red fruit, rounded off with a delicate kiss of oak. Meticulously aged for 26 months in French barrels (20% new oak), this Syrah embodies complexity and depth while remaining effortlessly approachable. With an ageing potential of 5 to 20 years, it’s perfect for cellaring or enjoying now alongside hearty dishes or a classic South African braai.
This wine carries the spirit of a new-world Syrah with the sophistication of old-world techniques. Its balanced acidity (TA: 5.4) and silky finish make it a versatile addition to any wine lover’s collection.
