The Foundry Syrah 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Voor Paardeberg
R360
`Grapes from Voor Paardeberg, this is the first release of a Syrah since the 2016 vintage. 40% whole-bunch fermentation. 30% matured in clay. Dark berries, olive, a particular herbal note, lavender and pepper on the nose while the palate is well balanced with luscious fruit offset by snappy acidity and crunchy tannins.`– Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100
`The Foundry Syrah 2020 is a deep, opaque bright purple-ruby colour. The enticingly perfumed bouquet is exotic with hints of wild herbs, violets, plum fruit and has a pronounced spicy, meaty and white pepper character. The palate is intense, currently quite taught and linear with great depth of flavour and exhibits vivacity and energy at this youthful stage.` – The Foundry
