A blend
of Syrah and Mourvèdre, Southern
Rhone varietals particularly suited
to the arid climate of the rugged
terrain of the Swartland region.
Painstakingly crafted using time-honored
winemaking machinery (basket press)
and methodology (pigage), this wine
is a bottled rendering of the very
terroir from where it was created.
The aim is to produce a unique and
honest wine displaying minerality
as apposed to more opulent flavors. |
“This
offers a stunning array of blue and
black fruit - blackberry, boysenberry,
blueberry and currant - that is pure,
driven and refined, with licorice,
sweet spice, vanilla, mineral and
sanguine notes flittering throughout.
Despite its concentration, this is
remarkably elegant, with superb
length and a seamless finish. Welcome
to the majors, South Africa.
Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink
now through 2013.”
