Syrah

Our appealing Syrah is an elegant wine with a supple fruit and spice balance prompting the name change from Shiraz to Syrah.

The wine is made from selected vineyards on Vrede en Lust and Ricton properties.

The grapes are picked by hand and the selected blocks are fermented separately and only at maturation are they blended.

Available in under Stelvin, 750ml & 375ml.

Style & Tasting Notes

A Rhone style Shiraz showing violets, plums and sweet spice. The smooth tannins on the palate confirm the promise of this elegant wine. Velvet textured layers showcases this wine through to a juicy mouth feel.

Wine Making Notes

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tanks and in barrels. The Shiraz is taken to barrel and after the first racking the final blend is made up and further matured in barrel.

This vintage spent 10 months in oak, 15% American. Bottled under Stelvin and the wine is released 10 months after bottling.
