Tasting Notes
Technical Details
Composition: 89% Syrah, 11% Viognier
Western Cape
The Syrah component is from Elim (50%), Walker Bay (30%) and Franschhoek (9%), while the Viognier originates from Franschhoek.
Grapes from the various Syrah vineyards were harvested at different times but always together with some Viognier. The grapes were hand-sorted and then fermented without stems. Regular pump-overs were performed during fermentation at approximately 25 degrees Celsius.
Good colour and tight, concentrated tannins from the Walker Bay area are combined with spicy, intensely flavoured wine from Elim and elegant, juicy wine from Franschhoek to produce a wine full of flavour and complexity. The nose reflects raspberry and cranberry fruit with liquorice and green pepper spice. The splash of Viognier adds a rose-petal perfume.
