Gabriëlskloof Whole Bunch Syrah 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Botriver
R240
‘The 2022 Whole Bunch is 100% whole bunches (quelle surprise) aged in stainless steel for nine months. It has a crisp nose with blackcurrant, raspberry fruit, and a touch of pressed violet. The medium-bodied palate has brittle tannins and a lovely chalky texture with a hint of licorice emerging towards the finish. The whole bunch works well here - no steaminess. Excellent. 2025-2042’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 94/100
‘Red and black berries, some black olive plus hints of floral perfume and herbs. Whole-bunch fermented and then aged for 10 months in tank. The palate has lots of sweet, juicy fruit to go with fresh acidity and crunchy tannins – drink anytime, anywhere.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 90/100
'A floral, earthy and intensely complex vintage showing a dense core of black and red fruits and white pepper that again nods towards the northern Rhone. The palate is not without tannin or acidity but is led by pure fruit and a touch of aromatic spice. The overall effect is lifted and ethereal where the 2021 was dense and coiled - making this more approachable though no less beguiling.' – Winemaker
