About this Item
Winemaker Reenen Borman crafted Epilogue as a tribute to both the heritage of Boschkloof and the future of South African Syrah, making it a standout expression of the variety. The name suggests a sense of culmination, refinement, and the last word in quality-essentially, the ultimate Syrah from the estate.

Critics Ratings
'The only thing wrong with this wine is that, at 2,000 bottles, there is very little of it. Expressing just how good this site is in "less perfect vintages", it's a Stellenbosch-meets- Hermitage style from Reenen Borman with effortless concentration and focus, aromas of lavender, thyme and black olive, subtle 20% new wood and dense, succulent black fruit. 2023-30' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 98/100
'Understatedly expressive single-vineyard syrah. Dried herb-floral perfume on already complex 2018. Velvet texture, fresh &, like 2017 (4.5 stars, 94 pts), unassertive but informing tannins in balance with fine fruit. Partly destemmed; 25% new oak, 30% concrete-matured. 13.5% alcohol.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2021, 5* (96/100)
