More Information

In the cellar

The grapes were harvested at just over 23 Balling to capture the pepper spice that typifies the varietal. The fermentation temperature peaked at 28°C with regular pump-overs to ensure even extraction and a 30% portion was fermented with 25% whole bunches. The wine was matured for 12 months in 500l French oak

In the vineyard

South-Westerly facing slopes ranging in altitude from 230-250m above sea level on decomposed granite soils. The vines are trellised on a seven-wire hedge system and we yield approximately eight tons per hectare.

Ageing

12 months

Cultivar

100% Syrah

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with venison, so try dishes like a pepper crusted Kudu fillet or slow-roasted Springbok shanks.
