Product Features
- This Syrah is a Will and Miller exclusive from Stellenbosch’s Polkadraai Hills
- Sourced from the best vineyards on Saxenburg, all planted on decomposed granite soils
- Careful canopy management and crop control ensures they get the best out of each of their vineyards
- After pressing, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels for 12 months (30% new)
- The wine was then blended and left to mature further in tank before bottling
- Beautifully intense colour, the nose has alluring notes of ripe dark fruit and berries, think plums and blackberries, wonderfully supported by notes of ground black pepper and sweet oak spice
- The palate is wonderfully structured and dense, but a bright acidity ensures the wine maintains freshness
- The tannins are fine and provide just enough grip to add real interest to the wine
- Paired perfectly with a red meat dish
