Tasting Notes
"The 2024 Syrah Swartland comes from three sites, one échalas, predominantly on schist and shale soils, 75% whole cluster and matured in 2,000-litre Austrian foudres. Wow, this has a stunning bouquet with camphor-tinged black and blueberry that bursts from the glass, yet there is still real elegance here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, silky in texture (totally different to the Ceres Plateau cuvée that is more powdery), a little sweeter towards the finish yet structured with a dash of cracked black pepper and a hint of garrigues. Deeply impressive." - Neal Martin, Vinous
