Due to whole bunch fermentation, you pick up a bouquet with of redcurrant and white pepper with herbaceous undertones such as dried sage and fynbos. A focused linear palate with grippy tannins and nuances of vanilla and all spice. A well layered wine in harmony to represent an elegant cool climate Syrah. Predominantly aged in older 100% French oak barrels, to preserve the new style of this Syrah. The rich Christmas spices present in this wine pair well with rich, flavoursome red meat dishes such as Sichuan spice crispy duck breast, five spice cured pork belly and dry rub Karoo lamb. This is certainly a wine to be enjoyed at a dinner to remember.
