Reserve Syrah 2014

'This perfumed Syrah has notes of spicy citrus rind, refined black fruit, violets and lilies. The palate is elegant and restrained yet with good body and a silky texture balanced by a fresh, natural acidity. The finish is long with supple tannins.'

Grapes come from 7 sustainably farmed vineyard parcels in various parts of the Swartland: 4 parcels planted in the stony Schist based soils of the Kasteelberg; 2 parcels of dry-land, bush vines grown in the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg; and 1 on the rolling, iron-rich soils west of Malmesbury. Vines are aged 19 to 26 years.
