‘The Sijnn Red is gloriously sui generis, sourced from poor soils in the isolated region of Malgas. Made from seven different French and Portuguese varieties, including Carignan and Grenache for the first time, it's a remarkable Syrah-based cuvée with engaging garrigue and incense aromas, flavours of damson, blood orange and tapenade, muscular tannins and a ferrous undertone. 2025-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 95/100
‘While make-up changes with the vintage, barrel-selected flagship shares DNA with previous: bold & spicy, built for the long haul (though alc is moderate 13%, as sibling blend). 39% syrah, distinct porty notes from 18% each tinta amarela & touriga, dense concentration of black fruit.' – Platter's Guide, 4* (93/100)

| 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. |
