‘One of the most unusual and distinctive reds in South Africa, sourced from a Grand Cru site near the Breede River, this is a unique blend of Syrah with Touriga Nacional, Tinta Amarela, Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvèdre. Sage, lavender and fynbos aromas lead into a palate of cassis, damson and blueberry fruit supported by stony intensity and subtle 20% new wood. Fresh, intense, concentrated and very long on the palate. 2024-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 96/100
‘A vibrant deep red colour. The Tinta Amarella’s red fruit character is beautifully intertwined with the Syrah and Touriga Nacional’s typical savoury and wild profile. Sage, lavender, thyme and rosemary on the nose. It is inky and wild but has a beautiful freshness, and concentration of cassis, blueberry fruit on the mid palate. Stony character and minerality lingers long after the first sip. It is elegantly powerful with a youthful freshness, yet a deep concentration, and a firm structured tannin profile, making sure this wine will last for many years. Hints of Blueberry cheesecake, a smooth and creamy texture on the palate. Best drinking 2024-2032’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | David Trafford’s Sijnn project is based in Malgas along the Breede River. Forty kilometers away from any other vineyards, it's tremendously rocky soil and Breede River-influenced microclimate is unlike any other in South Africa. These unfiltered, unfined, real wines are made in tiny volumes and speak of Malgas’ amazing terroir. |
