About the Session

Just how well do modern-era South African wines perform as they get older ? One of the most important measures of great wine is that it should be age-worthy, that is it should become more pleasurable and more interesting to drink with time in the bottle.

About this Item

2013 Syrah
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Straddled between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg mountains, with less than 30 hectares of scattered high-altitude vineyards, Keermont was started by the Wraith family in 2003 and was formed by combining 2 adjacent farms. Relaxed yet quality-focused Alex Starey has been in charge of the wines since redevelopment and planting in 2005, producing the maiden 2007.

Critics Ratings

'It has a very pure and floral bouquet, wilted rose petals infusing the redcurrant and cranberry aromas, the oak deftly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple texture, juicy and lithe in the mouth, unfolding with raspberry coulis and cranberry leaf notes, just a touch of bay leaf and Sri Lankan spices towards the finish. Perhaps more easy-drinking in style, it is a perfect introduction to the delights of Keermont.' – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 89/100 (Apr 2017)

'Milk chocolate, plum, black pepper, smoke, cedar – loads of flavour here in a very classic New World style. Sets Barossa a challenge!' Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Sep 2016)
