Description
Vinty Collection: Reserve Syrah – Swartland 2018
Some wines are loud. Others let the flavour do the talking.
Our Reserve Syrah comes from deep in the Swartland, where dry-farmed vines and old soils give the fruit its unmistakable edge. Expect a swirl of blackberry, smoked meat, and tapenade on the nose, with pepper and spice riding through to the finish. The palate? Rich, layered, and unapologetically expressive—full of flavour, with powdery tannins that keep everything grounded.
This isn’t just another bold red. Under its previous label, it quietly earned serious respect from those in the know – 90 points to be exact. Now bottled under the Vinty Collection, it’s your turn to taste what all the fuss was about.

Hi Wynand, thanks for the honest feedback. With small-batch wines like the Reserve Syrah 2018, there can sometimes be a bit of variation between bottles, and we totally get that it’s not ideal when one doesn’t quite match the magic of the last.
We’ve gone ahead and added 30% off a case of City by Dusk – Red Blend 2021 to your account for your next order; no need to do anything. Just a small way of saying thanks for your support, and here’s to your next bottle being a real standout.
