Description
False Bay Old School Syrah 2023 delivers a strikingly honest expression of the grape. Sourced from coastal vineyards cooled by ocean breezes, this Syrah is made the traditional way: with wild fermentation, minimal intervention, and gentle oak ageing. The result? A naturally structured wine with depth, spice, and a whole lot of character.
The nose bursts with black pepper, dark berries, and hints of smoky herbs. On the palate, it’s all about balance — juicy fruit wrapped in earthy spice, fine tannins, and a touch of oak that lingers on the finish. There’s nothing flashy here, just serious flavour and a nod to classic Rhône-style Syrah.

Old School Syrah is made for food and fire. It’s robust enough for red meat, yet nuanced enough for veggie dishes with smoky or earthy elements. Serve slightly chilled to let the vibrant fruit shine.
