About this Item
6 x 750ml bottles, comprising of Patina Syrah 2018
The grapes for this wine come from Goldmine Farm on the south-western slopes of the Kasteelberg in the Swartland. This pocket of the Swartland produces some of the finest grapes in the appellation.
The name Patina is derived from the gold prospectors who mined where the farm is today, with their mining pans and the patina that developed on their equipment over time.
This wine has an intense, brooding nose showing dark berry fruit and whiffs of allspice, black cardamom, cloves and graphite. The compote of black plums, blackberries and currants on the nose follows through onto a balanced mid-palate with vibrant notes of red plums, black cherry, green olives and violets on the entry. The wine has a classic structure and grippy texture, with hints of espresso, tar and star anise lingering on the palate.
