The 2021 Syrah is outstanding. The depth of fruit and powerful, fresh palate indicate that this wine has a long life ahead. A Platter’s five-star winner, the 2021 hails from six different vineyards across the region and represents everything the Swartland can achieve with Syrah. With production down by 25%, we only have a limited allocation available.
The unique and cellar-worthy Old Vines White is a benchmark for the white blend category in SA. The 2023 scored 95 points from Christian Eedes and impresses with its intensity, persistence and clarity of fruit. It’s a must for every fine wine enthusiast.
These stunning releases are joined by the small-batch 2023 Straw Wine – one of SA’s finest sweet wines. Salty, pithy and utterly delicious, it was produced from two vineyards in the Swartland – one on granite soils and the other on schist. The grapes spent weeks on a straw mat to raisin in the sun before being pressed to barrel, where fermentation finished up around 10 months later.
Both the 2021 Syrah and 2023 Old Vines White are also available in magnums.
