TASTING NOTE: This wine's Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan were hand-harvested from five sustainably farmed parcels selected from sites across Swartland. It has been crafted to proffer a juicy, berry-led flavour profile. Elegant and structured, with velvety texture and silky tannins. This is a perfectly pitched barbecue wine with great versatility and broad appeal. (Vintages panel, Nov. 2017) |
