About this Item

De Trafford
Syrah 393, 2014
5 (1 x 5) 750ml

Wedged between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg mountains, situated on the beautiful Mont Fleur farm, is the boutique De Trafford winery. The Trafford family purchased the land in 1976 and a small vineyard was in place by 1983.

Known for their powerful reds with graceful ageing properties, the iconic 393 Syrah is a selection of the best barrels with half coming from their steepest terraced section (planted in 2003) known as the Tip Top Mount Fleur.

Critics Ratings

‘Powerful, plush and concentrated, this Stellenbosch Mountain Syrah, all of it from the De Trafford property, is rich and plush, with layers of tannin, Mediterranean herbs and Asian spices, stylish oak and the promise of much more to come in bottle. Drink 2019-27.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 95/100

‘2014 in full-bodied house style of recent vintages with savoury nuances (black olive tapenade, sun-dried tomato and salami), well-polished tannins, elevated 15.8% alcohol hardly noticeable. Unfined/filtered, as all reds. Also in 1.5 and 3L.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
