Tasting Notes
"The 2024 Syrah Ceres Plateau comes from Bokkeveld shale soils with 60% whole cluster and matured for 11 months in 2,000-litre Austrian oak. This has a lifted and expressive bouquet with white pepper and clove infusing the black fruit, a little Cornas-like in style. There is a "coolness" about these aromatics. The palate is very pure with a slightly grainy texture, black fruit again laced with graphite and white pepper notes. Reserved, linear and focused, this is a Syrah that is calling out to be matched with food on the dinner table. Very precise and persistent on the finish. Excellent." - Neal Martin, Vinous
