Harvested from selected west-facing vineyards, 6 years in age at low yields ensuring complexity.
'We have made this wine in a Rhone style and for this reason we have chosen the name Syrah so as not to be perceived as another overripe New World-style Shiraz. The wine has lots of pepper, spice, (cloves and cinnamon), dark chocolate and fynbos' say winemakers Gary and Kathy Jordan. It was matured for 14 months in French oak (60% new Allier and Nevers barrels) with a small percentage of American oak to add complexity.
The Syrah will be available in selected retail outlets and from the farm from mid-August.
