Vinologist6x Swartland Syrah 2022

About

The Vinologist’s journey to discover single-origin Syrah begins in the Swartland. On slopes where even tractors struggle, the Vinologist finds pockets of vineyards where the hardy Syrah grape thrives. Hot and dry conditions allow Syrah vineyards to develop distinctive flavours, typical of the Swartland. The climate and growing conditions where these vineyards are located, lend themselves to produce spectacular Syrah. Minimal intervention during fermentation and barrel ageing leads to a wine that genuinely reflects the terroir. This exuberant Swartland Syrah is a true example of a wine with origin.

• The violets and red fruit of the nose follows through onto a full, fleshy mid-palate with flavours of youngberry, blueberry and blackberry and notes of vanilla, cloves, nutmeg and candied orange peel.
