About this Item

Syrah 2012
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
This is one of South Africa's most exciting new vineyards. This is the very first Syrah to be released from a vineyard planted in 2004 and is South Africa's only true continental terroir. At 1500 meters above sea level, situated in Sutherland in the Karoo, this producer has found that vineyards that are covered in snow in winter produce a unique structure that sets this wine apart from their coastal wines.

Critics Ratings

‘Dark, healthy crimson. Intense and much more focused and liquorice than most Cape Syrahs. A hint of meatiness and lots of interest. Cool and ripe and distinctive. Cool finish, very clean and fresh. Though no relation to any Syrah I know elsewhere.’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 16.5+/20 (Jan 2015)
