Description
Syrah delivers a perfumed and peppery aromatic profile, with ripe red fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon adds mid-palate grip and balance. The palate is supple and smooth on entry, with a dry and refreshing finish.
The grapes for this blend are sourced from Jakkalsfontein and Kalmoesfontein, located in the Paardeberg area of Swartland (W.O. Swartland). The vineyards are planted on a mix of granite soils and koffieklip (ferricrete), contributing to the wine’s mineral depth and structure. Additionally, all the vines are dryland bush vines, grown without irrigation, which enhances concentration and sense of place.
After fermentation, all components are blended and aged for seven months in a combination of large foudres, 500-litre French oak barriques, concrete tanks, and stainless steel vessels. This multi
vessel approach adds layers of texture and complexity.
