About this Item
Three 750ml bottles each of Erika Obermeyer CWG Silver Linings 2021 and 2022
This exceptional lot offers three 750ml bottles each of the Silver Linings 2021 and 2022 vintages—two remarkable expressions of the best terroir from the Coastal regions of South Africa, including Firgrove, Stellenbosch, Paardeberg, Agter-Paarl, and Wellington.
Silver Linings 2021
63% Syrah, 20% Grenache Noir, 14% Cinsault, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon
A perfect vintage, the 2021 Silver Linings is a harmonious blend where each varietal plays its part. Syrah imparts fresh red berry fruit, spices, and structure, while Grenache Noir adds elegance and fruitiness. Cinsault contributes brightness and freshness, and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon offers complexity and length. The favourable conditions of the 2021 vintage resulted in wines with excellent acidity, vibrant colour, and strong tannin structure, providing outstanding cellaring potential.
Silver Linings 2022
66% Syrah, 17% Grenache Noir, 12% Cinsault, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
A cool vintage, the 2022 harvest benefited from moderate weather conditions that slowed ripening, allowing the wines to develop deep complexity. The result is a blend with excellent acidity, vibrant colour, and a well-rounded, charming palate. This vintage shows promise with its density, balance, and potential for long-term ageing.
Both vintages of Silver Linings offer a nuanced and expressive experience, showcasing the unique terroirs of their origin. These wines are perfect for collectors seeking complexity, elegance, and the potential to age gracefully.
