AWARD WINNING

Longridge Driefontein Syrah 2022

R285,00

On the nose, the wine shows cinnamon, black cherries, elegant spice and charcuterie. Well-rounded tannins make for a wine which is accessible now, but with enough structure and balance to age and reward well in years to come. Serious, smoky, meaty and compact.

More Information

In the cellar

Biodynamic practices were followed in the cellar. In the winery, the grapes were sorted twice – firstly as whole bunches and then as berries to ensure that only the best grapes reach the fermentation tank. Aged in 20% new French Oak barrels.

In the vineyard

The two-hectare single vineyard vines are meticulously cared for by hand to ensure maximum quality. Organic and biodynamic practices are employed, which includes not using any pesticides, herbicides or chemical sprays. In addition, farm produced compost, teas and biodynamic preparations are employed. The fruit was hand-picked in small lug boxes and the crop was reduced to ensure that only the perfect grapes were used for this wine.

Ageing

This wine will continue to reward if carefully cellared for 5 – 8 years.

Cultivar

Syrah

Food Pairing

Try this wine with herb crusted rack of lamb, you will not be disappointed.
