Strandveld Syrah 2022

92 Points - Gilbert et Gaillard. A vivid cool climate Syrah from Africa’s southernmost vineyards, where Atlantic winds bring freshness and poise to the fruit. Dark, peppery and beautifully structured, it is a brilliant match for lamb, slow cooked beef or a smoky barbecue. Sustainably farmed among the wild fynbos of Elim. Taste Black cherry, plum and violet lead into black pepper, fragrant fynbos herbs and gentle oak spice. Fresh acidity and fine tannins give the dark fruit a long, savoury finish. Wine Press Ratings 92 Points - Gilbert et Gaillard (2022 Vintage) "Attractive red core. Equality of grape ripeness define the nuances. Black pepper, violets and dark cherries. All amplified by oak spice and herbaceous fynbos. Will age for up to 10years and beyond."
