Since South Africa's first grapevines were planted in the 1600s, Syrah has become the country's second-leading red grape variety. The Benguela Current flows upwards along the Western Cape, transporting icy waters from Antarctica. This powerful current plays a vital role in South Africa's wine history and climate.

TASTING NOTES:
Mulberry
Blackberry
Baking Spice
Layering, nuance and complexity define our Syrah. On the nose, peppery aromas join brooding dark berry fruit. The palate is full-bodied with elegant tannins that complement notes of mulberry, blackcurrant and cassis. The wine makes a delicious partner to braised meats, roasted vegetables and smoky barbecue sauces.
