About this Item

2011 David Trafford - De Trafford - Sijnn CWG Syrah
1 (1 x 1)

A 1.5 litre bottle of Sijnn CWG Syrah 2011

In 2003 we purchased an extraordinary property near the mouth of the Breede River, near the village of Malgas and planted 14 different, mostly Mediterranean, varieties in an effort to find the most suitable in a region never planted with vineyards before. The Syrah has excelled as the backbone of our flagship blend. In 2011 we decided to bottle a few of the best barrels for the CWG Auction.

This Auction wine was a particular selection from very low-yielding bush vines on pure shale and slate ‘soil’. Approx. 90% stone, 10% soil. Our soil scientist at the time of planting, the late Paul Feyt, advised us not to plant in this section of the vineyard, as the soil was too poor – a challenge we couldn’t resist! Yield: 2 ton/ha (12 hℓ/ha).

It has now matured beautifully, but there is no rush to enjoy!

This wine is packed in a wooden box.
