Mid ruby red, the nose is an array of black raspberry, crushed black peppercorns, wild lavender, dried orange peel, sea spray and rosemary fronds yet in between lie swashes of sexy Madagascan vanilla pod and milled Columbian coffee grounds. Surprisingly full-bodied there is a tightness to the structure; fine powdery texture and density to the sweet yet grippy tannins. There is a fabulous acid tension alongside giving the wine length and depth of flavour. Fruits veer from spiced lemon zest, Japanese green pepper, tapenade, brine, roasted meats, savoury earth and soft dark berried fruit. Still youthful this wine has oodles of complexity and concentration to go for another 6-12 years as the tannin resolve.

green grapes

Varietal: Syrah

Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet's most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn't easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.

Country: South Africa

As geographically diverse country, with everything from lush green valleys to areas of arid desert, mountainsides and river estuaries, South Africa unsurprisingly produces a huge range of excellent wines. Regions such as the Breede River Valley consistently impress with their Semillon wines and the lush, fruity Ruby Cabernets grown and processed here, and the cooler region of Overberg is attracting much attention as a result of their silky Pinot Noir bottles. However, all over the oceanic tip of this fascinating country, traditional methods dating back over three hundred years are combining with modern technologies to produce some of the finest examples of New World wines to be found anywhere on the globe.
